In this section you will learn about the types of records in the database, and how to view, add, and edit them. The following sections will give you additional information about specific types of records. All records can be accessed using
Search Functions or
Reports.
Search Functions allow you to find and enter a single record in the database.
Reports allow you to access multiple records that have things in common, and allow you to compare or analyze those records. When you view the results of a
Report, you will be able to then examine individual records on that report, or use the report to generate
Mailing Lists or other
Batching functions.
Once you are inside a Master Record (a Household or an Organization), you will be able to navigate all the records attached to that Master Record by using the menu of icons that will then appear on the left side of your screen. Throughout this help manual, you will find detailed information about the icons on this menu and what records can be accessed using these icons.
