When the number of fields in a row exceeds the number fields that can be comfortably shown on a horizontal plane, a scroll may be used rather than a grid. The following is an example from Oracle Utilities Customer Care and Billing of the scroll used to maintain the persons linked to an account:
The object that is scrolling is demarcated by the and
images. In the above
example, the various persons associated with an account appear in
the scroll.
Two numbers appear between the two arrows. The first number indicates the current entry's position relative to the other entries in the scroll. The second number shows the total number of entries in the scroll. In the above example, the person being displayed is the first and only person linked to the account.
If multiple objects exist, you can click the and
images to scroll through
the objects. You may press Alt+left arrow and
Alt+right arrow rather than clicking on these
buttons.
You may change the individual fields of an entry in the scroll as desired.
If you click the button, a new entry is added to the scroll. For example, if
you did this in the above scroll, you could link another person to
the account. You may press Alt+Insert rather
than clicking this button.
If you click the button, an existing entry will be deleted. For example, if
you did this in the above scroll, you would remove a person from the
account. You may press Alt+Delete rather than
clicking this button.
