Overview

 

The Committee table and the Committee Add/Edit screens contain all the primary information about committees and those who serve on them. 

 

Like most Add/Edit screens in the system, the Committee Add/Edit screens are comprised of multiple pages. These pages are commonly referred to as “tabs” because of their similarity in appearance to file folder tabs

 

The screens described in this chapter are used to add and edit all the records that are stored either directly in the Committee table or in a one of a few closely-related child tables. 

j0282178[1]Definition: A record in a “child” table contains additional data for a specific record in the “parent” table, and is linked via an ID# or similar code. When relatively few records in the parent use this additional information, it is more efficient to store it in a child table rather than have the fields in the parent table.
