Step 3: Explore your screen #
As you step into the screen, the “preview” display welcomes you. This is where you’ll find an overview of your records. Each record comes with its own set of fields, neatly organized for your convenience.

You can add new record using the plus icon. - Edit record

To cancel the operation and go back, click on the 3 dots located on the upper right side and select “Cancel”.
Step 4: Exploring Sub screens #
If you’ve selected a record on the screen and notice additional screen options displayed above it, these are known as subscreens.
Not all screens have subscreens, but when available, they provide you with a way to delve into specific details.
For exmaple, the screen “Update Status” is a Subscreen of “Work Orders” as you can see in the image below:
By clicking on a sub screen from the above, you can explore it just like we did in the previous step (Step 3).
