| To use an overview session |  |
| 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. 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. The following figure shows an example of an overview session that groups the records: Example overview session: Database Users (ttdba0515m000) 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 Group 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 File menu and the commands on the Edit menu. To start a details session from an overview session, you can: Click the New button on the application toolbar Click the Duplicate button on the application toolbar Double-click a record in the grid The Specific 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 What's this? Help for the Specific menu’s commands. |
