Detail form

On this page

The detail form is used to view, edit and create records.

Buttons

• Create new record – empty form; Save checks rules (e.g. mandatory fields).
• Refresh – reloads; unsaved changes can be discarded.
• Clone – copies the record into a new object.
• Delete (logical) – orange bin: marked as deleted, still physically present.
• Delete permanently (physical) – red bin, separate right; not recoverable.
• First/previous/next/last record – navigate the result list.

Input and display elements

Depending on the data type, matching controls are available:

• Text field – text entry with a length limit.
• LOV (List of Values) – opens a search form via „…“; quick search with Enter (one hit → green blink, several → list, none → red blink).
• Dropdown/combo box – shows stored master data; open the object via the context menu.
• Date field – calendar or manual entry.
• Subform – any number of related objects; rows via New/Clone/Delete or drag & drop.

Status change

For objects with a status model, a dropdown shows the possible next states. A status change can trigger actions (mandatory checks, calculations, new objects) and depends on permissions. Show status history lists past changes with date and person.
