About Row Labels

Row labels are displayed in the left column of a grid form. These labels show the numerical order of records in a collection and provide indicators about the current state of each record, whether it is saved, new, modified, or marked for deletion. Row labels also show whether unsaved records contain validation errors that must be corrected before the records can be saved.

Use this table to interpret the row label indicators that are shown in the first column of grids:

Indicator	Meaning of the Indicator
	Indicates the current (selected) record in the collection. In a multiview form, this is the record that displays in the detail view.
	Indicates that the record is new and contains no validation errors. It has not yet been saved.
	Indicates that the record has been modified and contains no validation errors. It has not yet been saved. A modification is considered to occur whenever there is a change to a value in any field.
	Indicates a record marked for deletion. The record is removed from the database when you save the record or the collection containing it.
	Indicates at least one validation error for a new record, modified record, or record marked for deletion. The indicator is added to the row label when you navigate away from the record, receive a validation error message concerning the record, and do not correct the error. When you subsequently try to save the record, or the entire collection containing the record, the system repeats the validation error message, and you cannot save it until the error has been corrected.
