Commit new record (create) or cancel


1. On the main menu bar, click the add / edit > archival institution tab; ICA-AtoM takes you to the list screen showing all existing archival institutions.


2. Click the add new text that appears in the name column header or the add new button at the foot of the list; ICA-AtoM takes you to a blank edit screen for data entry.


3. Enter data.


4. You can quit the create process at any time by clicking the cancel button in the button block; no new record will be created.


5. Click the create button in the button block to commit the new record.


6. Note that the button block changes after you click the create button.

  • A save button now appears for saving any changes made since creating the record or the last save.
  • The cancel button now means: "do not commit the data entered since the record was created or the last save".
