Hello,
I have records which user can edit, or add new records. The add/edit screen isn't really suitable for a grid as it has a grid within it for lists of parameters the user can add.
Does anyone have any good visual/UI paradigms for add/edit?
I have the form for adding and above it I have a label "Add/Edit", but when the user selects an existing record from the dropdown I just load that record into the same fields the user would add a record from. Should I create a 'status' label - like 'Adding Record' or 'Editing Record' or is a there a better pattern which clearly differentiates. Maybe my problem is the text at the top where I'm saying 'Add/Edit Record' - just doesn't seem clear.
Thanks for any tips!
