The term record refers to all the data associated with a single, individual entity in your system. Your database will contain records for things such as peices of equipment, fiscal years, work orders, locations, events, and people. The data associated with a record is organized into a datasheet, which defines the physical layout of the fields defined for the family to which the entity belongs.
On the Record Manager page, the datasheet appears in the workspace to the right of the Record Explorer pane.
Families can use multiple datasheets. When you open a record from the search results, the Meridium APM Web Framework will automatically display the default datasheet for the family of the selected record. All the standard datasheets that are defined for the family will appear in the Datasheet list, where you can select a different datasheet to view if desired.
Note that because the Meridium APM Web Framework supports only standard datasheets, if the default datasheet for a family is a custom form, the first datasheet in the Datasheet list for the family will be displayed.
All the standard datasheets that exist for a family will appear in the Datasheet list, where you can select a datasheet other than the current one to view in the Record Manager.
Note: Some datasheets may be disabled based on your security permissions.
Fields that are included in a datasheet may be grouped into various sections, which can appear as different tabs on the datasheet. For example, the datasheet in the preceding image contains three tabs: Process Tag Identification, Fluid Information, and Process Conditions.
At the top of the datasheet, several icons appear. These icons are links that provide access to functions that are associated with the selected record. The following icons appear in the datasheet area:
Create New: Displays the Select Family page, where you can choose the family for which you want to create a new record.
Save: Saves the changes you have made to the current record that you are currently viewing.
Save and New: Saves the changes you have made to the current record and then displays a new record in the same family on the Record Manager page.
Delete: After displaying a confirmation message asking if you really want to delete the record, deletes the selected record from the database.
