Adding an Entry

There are two ways in which an entry may be added:

•      Insert

•      Append

Click on the Insert button to add an entry at the cursor's current position. This feature is useful when you need to insert a new entry between two existing entries.
 
Click on the Append button to add an entry to the end of the list, regardless of where the cursor is located.
 
When an entry is added, the fields in the lower portion of the screen contain default values that may be modified. After you have specified the appropriate values, as described below, click on the Apply Changes button.
 

Moving an Entry

To move an entry, click inside the entry. It doesn't matter which field you click in, if the ID is bordered in bold, the entire entry is selected.
Click on the Cut button to remove the selected entry.
Click inside the location where you want to insert the entry, then click on the Paste button.
