Form Title Bar

The form title bar, located at the top of every MYOB Advanced form, includes general buttons you can use to manage the related data of the form—such as attaching a file to the form and adding the form to your favorites. The form title bar is slightly different depending on the type of form you are viewing:
  • A data entry form or class creation form showing a single record (see the first screenshot below). This form title bar is shown in the first screenshot below, and the numbered elements are noted below the screenshots.
  • Any other type of form, such as a processing form, configuration form, list of records, or other inquiry form. The second screenshot below shows the form title bar for a list of records.

Figure 2. Form title bar of another type of form


  1. Form title button. For a data entry or class creation form, the form title is smaller than the subtitle, as you can see in the first screenshot; you can click it to return to the list of records, which in the example above is Journal Transactions (GL3010PL).
  2. Form subtitle. This element is shown for only data entry or class forms to provide more information about the specific record that is being viewed on the form specified as the form title.
  3. Menu buttons. As the screenshots above show, various menu buttons appear on the right side of the form title bar, depending on the particular form.
  4. Add to Favorites button. Notice that this button is shown on the form title bar in only the second screenshot above; it is not shown on data entry forms or forms used to create classes.

A form title bar on a particular form may include some or all of the standard buttons, which are described in more detail in the next section.

Standard Form Title Bar Buttons

The following table lists the standard buttons that a form title bar might include.

Button Description
Form Title

Shows the title of the current form.

If you are on a data entry form or a form used to create a class, you can click the form title to navigate to the list of records of this type. For example, if you are viewing a particular customer, you click this button to view the list of customers defined in the system, and if you are viewing a particular customer class, you click this button to view the list of customer classes defined in the system.

For all other forms, clicking the form title causes the system to refresh the form.

Form Subtitle

For a data entry form or class form, shows the form subtitle, which represents the ID and name, description, or additional information about the specific record.

For a new record, the system may display New Record as the subtitle. If the form boxes used for creating a caption are populated when the form is opened, the system will display the limited record details. For example, if you initiate the creation of a AP bill on the Bills and Adjustments (AP301000) form, the system will display Bill as the form subtitle because the required Type box is filled by default with the Bill option. If you change the value of the Type box to Credit Adj., the system will change the subtitle to Credit Adj.. However, if you initiate the creation of a task on the Task (CR306020) form, the system will display New Record in the form subtitle because all elements the system uses for creating a caption are empty by default.

Add to Favorites

Adds the form to your favorites. If you frequently work with the current form, you can add it to your favorites for quicker access.

This button does not appear on the form title bar for data entry or class creation forms; it appears for other types of forms, including lists of records, configuration forms, and inquiry forms.

If the field level auditing is turned off, then the system opens the Update History dialog box with the limited information about the form or record creation and its last update.
