			<Paragraph class="Default">An <Emphasis>overview</Emphasis> session shows multiple rows from a table in a grid. Overview sessions are also called Multi-Occurrence sessions, because they display multiple records, or occurrences, from the same table. Scroll bars allow you to view rows above or below the current rows that are displayed in the grid. Based on security authorizations, you are able to insert, edit, copy, and delete entries in the grid.</Paragraph>

			<Paragraph class="Default">A <Emphasis>details</Emphasis> session shows one row and is also called a single-occurrence session. The details session is opened when you insert, edit or copy from the overview session. The details session allows you to edit individual field values and save your changes. The session may also have additional options that can be performed using buttons, icons or specific menu options.</Paragraph>

			<List><ListIntro>The details session is a synchronized dialog of the overview session. Synchronized sessions work together.</ListIntro>
				<ListItem>When the details record changes, the overview session will show the changes if the affected fields are on the overview session form.</ListItem>
				<ListItem>When a record is selected in the overview session, the details session will show the selected record.</ListItem>

			<Paragraph class="Default">Usually the overview session and the details session are 2 separate sessions, for example: the <GUIRef href="" role="session">Device Data (ttaad3500m000)</GUIRef> overview session and the <GUIRef href="" role="session">Device Data (ttaad3100s000)</GUIRef> details session. See the previous figures.</Paragraph>
			<Paragraph class="Default">However, the overview session and the details session can be the same session. For example the <GUIRef href="" role="session">Employees - General (tccom0101m000)</GUIRef> session can run as an overview session and as a details session. You use the form editor to indicate the fields that appear in the overview session, and which fields appear in the details session.</Paragraph>
