How do I create a new record ?

If you want to add a new record to your data file, select the corresponding file first: for example Addresses in Office Maker Business, Accounts in Office Maker Finance or Employees in Office Maker Staff.

Once the current file is selected, call the Action>Add command, the keyboard shortcut Cmd-N (Mac) or Ctrl-N (Windows) or click on the Add button. Depending on the file selected, the program displays the input grid for a new record or an intermediate dialog (for example, when entering a debtor invoice in OM Business, you can enter the number of an offer from which the program will extract the data to pre-fill the invoice).

Fill in the various fields, then click on the Validate button at the bottom right to save the new record. In some cases, the program may refuse to validate the record if certain mandatory fields have not been filled in or if certain conditions are not met (for example if you have entered an existing value in a single-value field). In case of refusal, an error message will indicate the reason why the validation is not accepted.
