Form

A form that appears after a list contains the data for the record you select in the list. Also, when you drill down on a field in a record in a list, you see a form on-screen that contains data for the record you drill down on. A form contains the data for one record. An example of a form is shown in Figure 3-1.

If you are authorized to edit the information in a form, then you can change field data directly in the form. Step off the form to save your changes. All required fields have an asterisk (a star icon) next to the field name in the form.

In some cases, you can click the show more button to access a long form, and then click the show less button to access the short form. These buttons appear in the corner of the form. For examples of the show more and show less buttons, see "Expanding and Collapsing Lists".

Record navigation buttons are available on each form. Use the navigation buttons to navigate to the next and previous form records.

The record number for a form appears between the record navigation buttons. The record number changes as you navigate between forms. An estimate of the total number of form records appears beside the record number (for example: 7 of 10+). You must navigate to the last form to see the exact number of form records beside the record number (for example: 15 of 15).
