Common Actions

The Action pane on the right of the Administrator application contains all actions for the currently selected context. Some of these actions will be specific to the context, but some actions are common across many contexts:

Insert - this action is available in most contexts. Clicking this button starts the Insert dialog for that particular context, allowing a new record to be inserted.

Delete - this action is available in most contexts. Clicking this button removes the selected item from the Pharos Database.

Remove Filter/ Show Filter-  This action is available in most contexts. Clicking this button removes filters all at once and brings you back to your original data set. This also removes the filter textbox found underneath each column header. Click this button again and then it becomes Show Filter so that it brings back the filter textbox.

Refresh - this action refreshes the data currently displayed. Any changes that may have occurred in the Database will be reflected.

Change Control - Clicking the Change Control action on the Action pane updates the Pharos system with any relevant configuration changes you have made since the last Change Control. This is equivalent to restarting all Pharos services.
