Page Header
Toolbar Icons | Description |
---|---|
Delete | Deletes the selected record(s). When clicked, users will be prompted with: "Are you sure you want to delete the selected records?". Click "OK" to confirm, or "Cancel" to return without deleting. WARNING: Records cannot be recovered once they are deleted! |
Edit | Opens the selected record for editing. If a record is not selected, the page will not open. |
Excel | Clicking the Excel toolbar icon exports the current contents of the grid to an Excel file that is automatically downloaded. The contents that export are only those currently visible. If the grid is filtered, only the filtered contents will be exported. |
Favorites | Clicking on the star icon when it is an outline, adds the page to the 'My Shortcuts' tab and fills in the star. Clicking on the star icon when it is filled in (solid color), removes the page from the 'My Shortcuts' tab and returns the icon to an outline. Users must log out and back in before the pages will be visible in the 'My Shortcuts' tab. |
Grid Layout | Opens the Saved Grid Layout menu that allows the user to select another saved layout, create a new layout, save changes to a layout, or assign a saved layout as the default for the page. Once changes are made to a grid, such as columns are added or removed, the user can click the Saved Grid Layout icon and save the changes to the grid layout and name the new layout. The new layout can also be set as the default, instead of the System View. This is useful for creating specific views to separate master files or transaction types (i.e. Invoice specific vs. Credit Memo specific). The bolded view is the default view, which will determine the view will automatically display in when opened. |
Help | Opens the online WIKI help page for the current page. This icon is only visible on pages that are documented in the online help. |
Opens the Print dialog window, where transaction and/or analysis reports can be downloaded, printed and/or emailed. | |

Checkbox | Used to select one or more records for delete or mass update. |
# Items | The count of the unique Item ID's associated with the Contract record. This field is generated by the system and cannot be edited.

This defaults to "(Use Next #)" and if it is not overwritten, then on Save it will be updated to the number in the ‘Next Contract Number’ Sales Order Preference. This can be overwritten before the contract is saved or updated after the record is created. This value is required, if it is missing, the message: "Contract Number is required." will be displayed.
