User Operations on Update frames
Update frames let users view data retrieved from the database. In addition, users can change this data and, if you permit, delete data or add new data. You can control the display of data in the same ways as on Browse frames.
The following table describes the operations users can perform on Update frames—in addition to those for Browse frames—and the corresponding menu items that Vision generates:
User Operation

Visual Query Specification
