Hi,

I am new to SC and was wondering how to open a single entry form application in direct insert mode. Currently, it opens the form in edit mode and then when the user clicks on Add button, opens a new insert form. I would like to get this insert form directly when I run this application. How do I do this?

Regards.

Thanks Joe. Got it to work!

As a continuation, would you know how to change the name of the button that is created when we create a LINK in the Lookup Settings of a field. Currently, the label is Edit. I would like it to be Add.

Basically, I have a form for “job” where “cust_id” is a “NUMBER AUTO-COMPLETE” Ajax field. If the user did not find a customer from the list, I wanted them to click on the link button to open the customer application in INSERT mode such that when the user creates a new customer and exits that application, the cust_id field in the JOB form shows the newly created customer.

Regards.

Usually you can change buttons in Layout - Themes or Layout - Buttons
