The following Edit commands are available on all NewViews tables.
| Menu Command - Edit > | ||
| Copy | <Crtl+C> Copy selected item, same as the Microsoft Windows general keyboard shortcut. Used to copy a field from one location to another. NOTE: If you have a block marked when you are doing a Copy the block will be copied instead of the cell. Clear the block using the Block>Clear first then Edit>Copy the desired cell. | |
| Cut | <Crtl+X> Cut selected item, same as the Microsoft Windows general keyboard shortcut. Used to move (cut) a field from one location and move it to another. | |
| Paste | <Crtl+V> Used to paste field information that was copied or cut from another field. | |
| Quit | The Quit is issued to cancel the addition of a new item that has been added, or to cancel changes to an existing item. This can only be done if the item has not been saved, either by moving from the field or issuing the Save (F5) command. | |
| Save | Save the current row in a table. This is the same as the <F5> command. A row is automatically saved when you move off it so you typically use Edit>Save only when you want to save the current row without moving off of it. In NV1 this was the Edit>Record command. | |
| Insert | Inserts a new line above the active line. NOTE: The positioning of the new line is only an issue if the table is sorted by line (interactive) order. If the table is sorted by description or name order, the Insert commands will automatically place the new line in the proper position. | |
| Append | The Block>Append is used to move a marked block of items to the end of the current document. The block disappears from its original position, and reappears below the selected line. | |
| Delete | The delete command is used to delete the selected item in the current table. Items can only be deleted if there are no transactions linked to it. For example, an account that has transactions cannot be deleted. In NV1 this was the Edit>Delete command. | |
| Default Value | Get | This will place the default value in the active field. You can also use the Default Value>Get command to retrieve the fields' default into an existing field at any time. |
| Set | Default values can be set for any or all fields on a document using the Default Value>Set. Defaults remain set when you terminate a NV2 session. New items that are added to that particular document (e.g. a customer account ledger) will now automatically contain the data that has been set as a default for that field. Any existing default for any field on a document can be changed (using another Default Value>Set or cleared (using Default Value>Clear) at any time. In NV1 this was the Edit>Put command. | |
| Clear | This will clear the default value for the active field; any defaults that have been set for other fields will remain in the defaults. | |
| Clear All | This will clear all defaults for columns that are currently visible on screen; any defaults that have been set for hidden (or removed) columns will remain in the defaults. | |
| Reference | Pick | Pick a value for the current field. For example, use this field to select an account when on a transaction. When on a date field it pops up a calendar. Many other fields pop up a list of allowed values. Note: On a bank account, <F3> will fill in the Reconcile field value with an incremental value. For more information see Select Boxes. |
| Clear | This will clear the value in the field that is currently active. | |
