Whenever you are working with records in your Tick-It! Trak Pro database, you will see a consistent set of controls, and a consistent method of operation. At the bottom of any record form, you will see the following buttons displayed:

These buttons will appear and work the same way for all records in your database, whether it is a customer record, a venue record, a membership record or whatever.

When a database record is initially called up, the fields will be locked and you will be prevented from editing the displayed data.
