Adding a Data Source Entry You can set up one data source for a domain. To create a new data source for a domain: 1 Click Add in the navigation window to display the edit screen in Add mode. 2 Enter data into the appropriate fields. 3 Click Add in the edit window to save the record. 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 should never occur in normal processing, since each user must be associated with a data source. Clicking a command button executes one of the following actions: • Add saves the new record to the database. All required fields—indicated by alternate field color—must be populated prior to saving 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.
