| Description |
This layout allows school data to be edited, added or deleted: |
| |
 |
| Fields |
| School Abbreviation |
The unique, capital-letter abbreviation for the school, which will
be used as a key in finding and sorting student data. If this key is actually
used in student data, the word "referenced"
will appear in the empty box above it. In this case, this value should never be
changed, nor should the record containing it be deleted. Otherwise, the referring
data will become corrupt. |
| School Full Name |
The full name of the school. Since this data is not used as a sort or data
key, it may be changed (within reason), even if the record is referenced. |
|
| Buttons |
| Menu |
Go back to the database main menu. |
| New |
Push this button to create a new school record. When the new
blank record appears, choose new, unique school abbreviation and fill in the full
name field. |
| Sort |
Pushing this will sort the records by school abbreviation. |
| Delete |
Pushing this button will delete a school record. If you really want
everything about it gone, then edit the school abbreviation value list, as described
above, to remove it there as well. Once again, be careful not to remove or change
a referenced school abbreviation. The database actually contains interlocks which
will prevent you from deleting an entire referenced school record. However, nothing
has been implemented to prevent changing or deleting a value list item, regardless
whether or not its associated data record is referenced elsewhere in the database. |
