5.2.2.2. Add/Edit

This type of grid enables users to create or modify data by way of the supplementary forms linked to the Add and/or Edit controls. Once these forms have been saved, the grid will be updated to include the newly added or edited information.

*In some cases, update grids will include a View button, which enables users to view selected items in the grid. In viewing mode, however, users cannot make any modifications.

1. Add: This button allows users to add a new item.
   • If selected, it will open a pop-up window with the Add Item form.
     • In this form, users can define the required details for the item.
   • At the bottom of the form, users will be given the following options:
     
     • Save and New: This button allows users to save the item and open a new form to create another item.
     • Save and Return: This button allows users to save the item and return to the main form.
       • Once they have saved their work and returned to the main form, users will find any new items they have created now added to the grid.
2. Edit: This button allows users to edit an existing item.
   • To edit, select the item that you want to edit from the grid and click on the Edit button. It will open a pop-up window with the form Edit Item. This form is typically a duplicate of the Add Item form, with the exception being that the fields are all populated with previously inputted information.
   • To save your changes, click on the Apply button at the bottom of the form.
     • Users will find the item in the grid now updated with the latest modifications.
