See also: To display the records To maintain records Lines and columns A record contains the details of each entity, as stored in the database. Each line of an overview session represents one record. Each column of an overview session represents one field of the records. For example, each address is a record in the Addresses (tccom4530m000) session. The ZIP Code/Postal Code column displays the contents of the ZIP Code field of each address record. Records-by-group overview sessions Many overview sessions list the records of a specific group. The fields at the top of the session window determine the records that define the group. Examples of records-by-group overview sessions are: The Tax Codes by Country (tcmcs0536m000) session The Production Orders by Item (tisfc0503m000) session To browse through the available groups and to create new groups, use the Group menu commands and the Group toolbar buttons. To work with the records of one group, use the File menu commands and the Edit menu commands. The Specific menu The Specific menu commands only apply to the current session. These commands usually start related sessions and special functions. Important commands on the Specific menu are described in the Session Help. In the Worktop client, you can also consult the What's this? Help for the Specific menu commands. For details, refer to To display What's this? Help.
