	<GeneralSection><Paragraph class="Default">You can use an overview session to view, sort, add, change, copy, and remove records. A record contains the details of each element stored in the database. Each line in the grid of an overview session represents one record. The columns of an overview session represent the fields of the records and each column of an overview session represents the record fields. The overview sessions show an application toolbar. For more information about the toolbar button, refer to “The application toolbar buttons,” later in this chapter.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph class="Default">Many overview sessions list the records linked to other records, that is, the records of a specific group. The fields at the top of the session window display the records that define the group.</Paragraph>
		<Figure space-and-orientation="indented-estimated"><FigIntro>The following figure shows an example of an overview session that groups the records:</FigIntro>

		<Paragraph class="Default">This example shows the database users in the Oracle database. To view the database users in another database group, you can use the commands on the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Group</GUIRef> menu to browse through the available groups and to create new groups. To work with the records of one group, you can use the commands on the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">File</GUIRef> menu and the commands on the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Edit</GUIRef> menu.</Paragraph>
		<List><ListIntro>To start a details session from an overview session, you can:</ListIntro>
			<ListItem>Click the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">New</GUIRef> button on the application toolbar</ListItem>
			<ListItem>Click the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Duplicate</GUIRef> button on the application toolbar</ListItem>
			<ListItem>Double-click a record in the grid</ListItem>
		</List>
		<Paragraph class="Default">The <GUIRef href="" role="menu">Specific</GUIRef> menu on the menu bar shows the options that apply to the current session. These commands usually start related sessions and special functions. You can consult the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">What's this?</GUIRef> Help for the <GUIRef href="" role="menu">Specific</GUIRef> menu’s commands.</Paragraph>
