Using Toolbar Buttons

The toolbar appears at the bottom of most pages. It can include search list navigation buttons, page navigation buttons, and page action buttons. It changes depending on the type of page that is active or the settings that the developer has put into place for a particular transaction. Not all buttons shown in the following table appear on every page. Likewise, some buttons may be unavailable for selection.

Note:

In some cases, you may see different representations of a button, but the action is the same.

Field or Control Description

Save button

Click to send the information that you entered on the page to the database. Generally, you save when you come to the end of a component. The Save button updates the data for all pages in a component. When activated, the system displays the saved message in the upper-right corner of the page.

Return to Search button

Click to return to the search page.

Previous in List button

Next in List button

Next tab button

Spell Check button

Click to activate the spell check feature for all spell check-enabled fields on the page. Spelling is checked for each field individually.
