Inspect and Edit Pages

Inspect pages and edit pages display the data for a single record of an entity. An edit page allows you to make changes to the record and save the changes, while an inspect page is read-only.

An inspect page looks like this:

Note the buttons at the bottom of the page:

Delete allows you to delete the record from the database.
Cancel takes you back to the page from which you accessed this inspect page.
Edit brings up the equivalent edit page for this record, so that you can make changes.

Note: If your model specifies a particular entity as read-only, you won't be able to edit it in a Direct to Web application.

An edit page looks like this:

It is similar to the inspect page, except that it has a Save button (for saving changes to the database) instead of an Edit button.

For best results when navigating through a Direct to Web application, don't use your web browser's backtrack buttons. Instead:

To return to the previous page from an edit or inspect page, click Cancel.
To return to a query page from a list page, select the entity in the Entities pop-up list and click Build Query.
