Section 5: People Module (cont'd)

Section 5.1 - People Module Button Bar



People Module Button Bar - As you've probably noticed, each module has its own unique button bar. Some elements are similar among all of the button bars, but there are distinct differences as well, to accommodate the unique features in each module. Following are the functions of the buttons in the People module's button bar:

Navigation buttons - Click the left arrow to go to the previous record, and the right arrow to go to the next record in the People module. Click the blue ball to go to a particular record by number. When clicking this button, the user will be presented with a dialog box that asks which record the user would like to view.


Find buttons - Click the magnifying glass, or the Find Records button, to locate a particular record. Find criteria may be entered into any data entry field on the People screen. After find criteria has been entered, click the Find Records button again to perform the find. Click the All button to show all records in the People module.

There are many advanced options for finding records, the extent of which will not be covered in this manual. For more on Find mode, see your FileMaker Pro documentation, or do a search at
www.filemaker.com. Searches in the Calendar Solution will generally be simple, and will likely not require advanced find options.

Important Note: A common mistake users make is to attempt to enter new records in a module while in Find mode. You can verify that you are not in Find mode by looking at the very edges of any screen in the Calendar Solution. If the edges are colored (for example, the edges of the People module's screens are yellow), the user is in Browse/Edit mode. If the edges of the screen are gray or colorless, the user is in Find mode. Be careful to ensure that you are in Browse/Edit mode before entering new records.


New and Delete buttons - Click the New Record button (plus sign) to create a new user in the People module. Click the Delete Record button (trash can) to delete the current user. You will be asked for confirmation before deleting a user, and for good reason. Deleting a user also deletes all events associated with that user. Be very careful when using the Delete Records button!


Calendar Month View button - Clicking the Calendar Month View button navigates to the Calendar module and displays Month view for the current date.


Help button - Displays help for the current screen.
