Add Scoring Record

See the window examples shown earlier and familiarize yourself with the Add Scoring Record Web page. Most of the skills that we need to build this dialog have already been discussed, so the steps to complete this dialog are going to be more abbreviated than the steps for the other dialogs. See prior examples if you need help in accomplishing a particular step.

Follow these steps:

  1. Open the Add Scoring Record dialog design.
  2. Resize the Add Scoring Record dialog such that it is similar in size to other dialogs we have designed.
  3. Add the adbanner picture to the top of the dialog design.
  4. Add the literal Add Scoring Record, making the font size Arial/Bold/16.
  5. Add the literal Enter the following scoring information about your game of golf. Use the default font size.
  6. The next step is to prepare the Scoring Record fields for their addition to the dialog design.
    1. From the Menu Bar select Edit, then select Field Design…. In the Field Design dialog, scroll to the EXPORT SCORING RECORD fields.
    2. If necessary, arrange the attributes in the entity view to be in the order shown on the window example shown earlier. You can accomplish this by selecting the attribute you want to move, selecting the Move push button, and then selecting the attribute you want to move your selected attribute directly below.

      Note: The Move push button will be disabled if you have more than one attribute highlighted. To un-select a selected attribute, just select it again.

    3. Once you have the attributes in order, select each attribute again, and detail its properties. You can accomplish this by selecting the attribute and then selecting the Properties… push button.

      Note: The Properties… push button will be disabled if you have more than one attribute highlighted.

      For each attribute, ensure the following:

      • The Import View mapping is IMPORT
      • The Export View mapping is EXPORT
    4. Enter the appropriate Prompt: for each field as shown:
      • Date—Date Played:
      • Time—Time Played:
      • Adjusted Gross Score—Adjusted Gross Score:
      • Course Rating—Course Rating:
      • Course Slope Rating—Course Slope Rating:
      • Note—Note:
    5. Enter the appropriate Edit Pattern: for each field as shown:
      • Date—MMDDYY
      • Time—HHMM
      • Adjusted Gross Score—ZZZ
      • Course Rating—ZZ.Z
      • Course Slope Rating—ZZZ
      • Note—<Default Edit Pattern>

    Also, ensure that:

  7. In the Field Design dialog, select all six fields and then select the Place push button. They will be presented to you, one at a time, in the order in which they appear in the Field Design panel. For each field, you will be presented with the prompt first, followed by the field. Place each one on the dialog design in roughly the position indicated from the example shown earlier. Verify that all of the edit patterns are as specified and if not, double-click the field and re-enter the edit pattern.
