You can navigate through records in a database table from within various data entry and report forms. You may choose actions by pressing buttons on the toolbar (see below).  When scanning (First, Prior, Next, Last), records are presented in order by Number, Description, or, in some cases, Other criteria (see note below). You specify the order by selecting Number, Description, or Other on the "Options>Navigate by . . ."  submenu.

The navigation functions are:

First – Select to display the first record in the table.

Prior – Select to display the record that precedes the record that is currently displayed. 

Next – Select to display the record that follows the record that is currently displayed.

Last – Select to display the last record in the table.

The record that is displayed depends on the "navigate by" option currently selected.

Note: The Other navigation criterion will not be found on all forms within the system. It is only presented as an option when the table has a tertiary index defined.
