Adding a state
A new state can be added by clicking [Add] in the List button group. Data regarding the added state is provided in a new row that appears on the list.
Figure 15 New row for entering data of a new state.
The data is the following:
Name – state name can be composed of any sequence of characters (letters or digits). It provides broader description about the entered object instance. Name value must be unique
Note: It is not possible to add several states with the same name. If attempted, the following message will be displayed: “A state with the name given exists in the database! The record has not been added”.
Country - the country a given state (district) will be assigned to. The list of countries can be modified in the Countries directory (see chapter Countries)
The Active field is checked, by default. If checked, it means that a given state can be used in the system. If unchecked, it means that the state is inactive and cannot be used in the system. Such state will not be included in the dropdown lists, e.g. in a bank form, in the State field.
Upon completing all the data, the newly added state must be saved by clicking [Save] in the General button group.
