Detail Data Source Edit
Data Source
Specify a code (maximum 8 characters) that identifies a data source. To avoid confusion, you may want to name your data sources the same as the QAD EA domains that they represent.
Description
Specify a brief description (maximum 24 characters) of this data source to display in lookups.
Domain
Specify the name of a domain in the QAD EA database to be associated with this data source.
Default Data Source
Select this field for the data source you want the system to use when a default associated with the currently logged in user cannot be found.
Note: This situation cannot possibly occur in normal processing, because in normal processing, each user is associated with a data source.
Clicking a command button executes one of the following actions:
• Add saves the new record to the database. Make sure that all required fields—indicated by alternate field color—are populated before you save a record. Before saving, the system verifies that the record is unique and displays an error if it is not.
• Cancel closes the window without adding the record.
Note: There can be only one data source for one domain.
