Click on the Add button in the left pane. The corresponding New Record screen is displayed.
Enter data in applicable fields. The fields with an asterisk are required and must be completed before the record can be saved.
- Fields that require specific values display Field Look Up Values in the right pane. If there is no right pane, the List Selector icon is displayed to the right of a field to open a listing of valid values.

  Click on the icon to the right of a field to open the List Selector screen. Click the selected value to load it to the field.
  
  Note: This listing option is used in screens when the right pane is not available to display the Field Look Up Values.
  
  If specific values are required for a field, valid options may be displayed in the Field Look Up Values in the right pane. Usually, these values are previously set up on the corresponding Configuration screen. Scroll down the list to find the required value using the vertical scroll bar to the right of the list.
  
  Note: If the first few characters are typed into the field, the list automatically scrolls to the values beginning with the corresponding values.
  
  Screens that do not have a right pane available have the list selector icon to open a listing of valid values. Click this icon to open the list.
  
  Note: Organization Unit information may need to be entered before values are displayed. For example, when accessing a Job Class field, the job class options available are linked to specific organization units. The organization unit where job classes are created must be entered before the options are displayed.
- Fields that require specific standard response values (for example, Yes/No) display a Drop-Down Menu arrow to open a list of valid options.
  If specific standard values are required for a field, valid options may be displayed in a Drop Down Menu. These are usually standard options, or may be client defined. The values are not accessible through a configuration screen.
  
  Click on the drop down menu arrow to display the options.
- Fields that require date values display a calendar in the Field Look Up Values in the right pane. If there is no right pane, the Date Selector icon is displayed to open a calendar to select a date. Date values can also be typed in.
  When a date field is highlighted, the Date Selector is displayed in the right pane to search for the date. Use the arrows in the heading bar to scroll to the Previous or Next month's calendar. Double-click on a date to enter it into the field. Alternatively, dates can be typed into the field.
If there are Indicator and/or Parameter tabs, these must be configured as well. Default values are displayed for all indicator settings (and selected parameter settings), but may be changed for this record. For more information on indicator and parameter settings, the Configuration section>System card>Indicators screen and Parameters screen. See also the Rules and Parameters Specification documentation.
Depending on the screen being set up, there may also be additional Section buttons in the left pane. Click on the buttons to open and configure those additional screens.

The Assign: Common Data button is used when assigning multiple records that need values entered. This indicates that all the selected records should be assigned the same values.

For example, when adding Pool Code assignments to an employee, if the Active status and the employee's Reference Number are the same for all pool assignments, select Assign: Common Data. The user only needs to add these values once and they are assigned to each record.

Note: If records should have different values, select Assign: Individual Data, and each record is opened separately to add values.
