The Products table and the Products Add/Edit screens contain all the primary information about advertising, course sale, miscellaneous sales, publications, and self study items.
Like most Add/Edit screens in the system, the Products 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 document are used to add and edit all the records that are stored either directly in the Products table or in one of a few closely-related child tables.
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.
