If you only want to add the artists’ name, title or catalogue number for each new recording, it will be quicker and easier to use the Quick Add form to enter the information. The Quick Add form is displayed by clicking on the Quick Add button on the Input screen. Enter the Artists name (this field is mandatory) and if required enter information in the Title and Catalogue number boxes. If you are happy with the information you have entered click on the Add button or hit Enter on your keyboard. The information will be added to the database and the cursor will return to the Artist box. Wait for ‘Input Ready’ to be displayed at the top of the screen (in most cases this will be instantaneous) Enter the details for your next recording to be added to the database. The green button at the top right will clear all the boxes, you can use this if you make a mistake.

The ‘Last Recording Added’ button will display the information you last entered using the Quick Add method.

The Save check box, if ticked, will save the artists’ name after you have added the entry to the database. This is useful if you are entering a discography for a particular artist.
