Managing
Creating a new Benefit
Clicking on the New button will display a context menu with an option to create a new Tangible or Intangible Benefit. Selecting an option will display a child window so a new Benefit can be recorded.
Once the Description is set the new Benefit can be saved by clicking the Save button at the bottom of the child window. If any validation errors are encountered they will display at the bottom of the child window and must be rectified before the new Benefit can be successfully saved.
Upon successful completion of creating a new Benefit the child window will close, a success message will display at the bottom of the application and the newly created Benefit will be selected in the DataGrid.
If the Cancel button is clicked, the child window will close and nothing will be saved.
Editing a Benefit
Selecting a Benefit and clicking on the Edit button will display a child window so the Benefit can be edited. Alternatively the row can be double-clicked to perform the same action.
Once all necessary changes have been made the Benefit can be saved by clicking the Save button at the bottom of the child window. If any validation errors are encountered they will display at the bottom of the child window and must be rectified before the Benefit can be successfully saved.
Upon successful completion of the editing process the child window will close and a success message will display at the bottom of the application.
