Error Action Maintenance The Error Action Maintenance function lets administrators associate Progress events to specific QAD CSS users. Error Action Maintenance works in conjunction with Error Message Maintenance. HTML error actions are typically alert boxes. Log error actions typically cannot be viewed through the QAD CSS interface; they are written to the Progress log file as set up during implementation. E-mail error actions send a message to a specified user or users. Error Alert Box While in Error Message Maintenance, you can click the View link to display error action event details corresponding to the row.

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.

Requirements for adding a record are the same as for editing a record. To modify an entry: 1 Display the record to modify. 2 Click the Error Number link in the row of the record to be modified. Clicking the link displays the edit screen. 3 Enter data into the appropriate fields. Fields that do not allow change are indicated by a second alternate color. 4 Click Save to commit the changes.
