Function Buttons

By default, Iron Speed Designer generates a set of function buttons for Show Table and Edit Table panels.  A button for this operation appears above the table in a row of function buttons.  Note that not all buttons are applicable in both the Show Table and Edit Table panels.

Button

Description

Add

Links to an associated Add Record page.

Edit

Links to an associated Edit Record page.  The first selected record is edited.

Copy

Copies a selected record for quick editing in an Add Record page.  (Enterprise Edition only.)

Delete

Deletes one or more selected records.

Note that the Delete button behaves differently on a Show Table page than on an Edit Table page.  On a Show Table page, the records are deleted when the button is clicked, but on an Edit Table page they are removed from the page, but not actually deleted until the Save button is clicked.  If the Save button is not subsequently clicked, then the records that to the use will appear to have been deleted, will re-appear.
