Please find additional details below:

Image
The Search button allows users to search for records based on specified search criteria. Search affects which records the navigation buttons (List, First, Previous, Next, Last) will display.
Image
The List button allows you to navigate between records (double-click to navigate). On most forms, List will default to display all results. However, once a search is performed, List will only display the results of the previous search.
Image
The First button will go directly to the first entry of the past search results. First, Previous, Next, and Last can access the same records as List.
Image

The Previous button will navigate to the previous entry.

Image
The Next button will navigate to the next entry.
Image

The Last button will go directly to the last entry.

Image
The Add button is used for adding new records.
Image

The Update button will unlock fields on the form, making them editable.

Image
The Delete button allows users to delete records. The right to delete data is limited to very few users.
Image
The Audit button will display a log of all the changes associated with a given record.
Image
Every form has a form number (e.g. 28 for the Clients form). Typing the number and pressing enter in the Form# field will prompt the form to open directly.
Image
Last Call opens the most recent form. This can be useful if you want to quickly close and reopen a form.
Image
If you have Microsoft Teams, Live Chat will open a Teams chat with CARMIS Support.
Image
Help will open the CARMIS help documentation, which you are currently reading.
Image
The Close button closes the form currently in focus.
