Record Section:

 

 

• Created By - the name of the user that created the record and the date it was created.  Lists user’s first name followed by last name.

 

• Modified By - the name of the user that last modified the record and the date it was last modified.  Lists user’s first name followed by last name.

 

• Active: by default this value is set to “Yes”, which means the record is active and available for use.  To deactivate a record, set it to “No”.   Deactivating a record is a logical form of deletion.  It is used to remove the record from future use, yet maintain the relationship with existing data.  Reports by default only include active records; however, there is a reporting option that allows inclusion of deactivated records.

 

• ChapterID - This value is only applicable if you are using the PORTALPRODIGY Site Synchronization feature.  It is used to specify the Chapter that has primary ownership of the record.  For further information see the chapter on Site Synchronization.

 

Options:

 

	Saves the Mini Browser settings entered on this page.
	Deletes current record.  PORTALPRODIGY will prompt to confirm deletion of the record.  Select OK to confirm the deletion or CANCEL to abort the deletion.
	Print the current page (contents of your browser window) according to your browser’s print settings.
	Closes the page discarding all entries and edits.
	Close the page and save changes.  PORTALPRODIGY will prompt to save changes.  OK response saves changes, closes page, and returns to previous page.  CANCEL response discards all entries and edits (same as Cancel button).
