Record management
=================
**Note:** Any modifications made to the records are permanent. Users
should make sure they keep up-to-date backups.
Creating a new record (QSO)
---------------------------
A new QSO can be added by either:
- Clicking the ``Add Record`` button in the toolbar.
- Pressing ``Ctrl + R``.
- Clicking ``Add Record...`` in the ``Records`` menu.
A dialog window will appear where details of the QSO can be entered (see
figure:edit_record_). Note that the current date and time
are filled in automatically. When ready, click ``OK`` or press the Enter key to save the
changes.

Callsign lookup
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PyQSO can also resolve station-related information (e.g. the operator's
name, address, and ITU Zone) by clicking the ``Callsign lookup``
button adjacent to the Callsign data entry box. Note that the user must
first supply their `qrz.com <http://qrz.com/>`_ or `hamqth.com <http://hamqth.com/>`_ account information in the preferences dialog
window.
Editing a record
----------------
An existing record can be edited by:
- Double-clicking on it.
- Selecting it and clicking the ``Edit Record`` button in the toolbar.
- Selecting it and clicking ``Edit Selected Record...`` in the
``Records`` menu.
This will bring up the same dialog window as before.
Copying/pasting a record
------------------------
An existing record can be copied and pasted by:
- Selecting it and right-clicking to bring up the popup menu.
- Selecting ``Copy``.
- Right-clicking again and selecting ``Paste``. This will duplicate the record, with the duplicate becoming the latest record in the selected log.
Deleting a record
-----------------
An existing record can be deleted by:
- Selecting it and clicking the ``Delete Record`` button in the
toolbar.
- Selecting it and pressing the ``Delete`` key.
- Selecting it and clicking ``Delete Selected Record...`` in the
``Records`` menu.
Removing duplicate records
--------------------------
PyQSO can find and delete duplicate records in a log. A record is a
duplicate of another if its data in the Callsign, Date, and Time fields are the same. Click ``Remove Duplicate Records`` in the
``Records`` menu.
