Add New Entry help page

This is the Add New Entry form.

   The Add New Entry form will guide the user through the add entry process as soon as the user types in a new entry name and presses 'Enter' or 'Tab'. This form will not allow a new entry to be entered with out a name. In fact the name must be the very first thing entered. The Entry Name Field is the only required field; that is, it cannot be left blank.
    Each Account Tracker entry or record is divided into two major portions. The first portion or the primary data is the Name, URL, User ID, Password and Email address. These first five fields are the most important in defining an entry in the Account Tracker database. The Security (or Secret) Questions and answers, the Security Images and the Related links fields are secondary data. They are only slightly less important than the primary data fields. The notes filed is truly a secondary data filed but is treated like a primary data field in some respects.
    Use your mouse pointer to become familiar with the different parts of the Add New Entry form and click on each for more detail. Upon closer inspection you will see that this is the same form as the Edit Entry form.
