The Create a Record Definition Frame
To define a record type for your application, select Create from the Edit Application Record Type Definitions frame. Create displays the Create a Record Definition pop-up frame, on which you can enter the name and description. See the following figure:
This pop-up has only two fields:
Name
(Required) Specifies a name that follows the standard naming conventions and is not the name of a Ingres data type or an existing record type for the application. The field is blank when you first see it.
Short Remark
(Optional) Provides a brief description of the record type. This remark appears in the Edit Application Record Type Definitions table field, and can be modified through the MoreInfo About a Record Definition frame.
The menu operations are identical to those on the Create an Application Constant frame:
OK

Cancel
Cancels the creation and return to the previous frame
