Create

Overview

The Create submodule is used to create and manage supporting master records that are referenced by other parts of Caddayn Biller. It provides separate tabs for different entity types, allowing users to create, search, edit, and delete records from a centralized interface.

Records created here become available for selection in the relevant modules throughout the application.

The Create submodule includes the following tabs:

  • Brand

  • Category

  • Tax

  • Batch

  • Label

  • Expense Types

  • Investment Types

  • Income Types

Interface Overview

Each entity type is managed through its own tab. The selected tab displays its existing records in a list.

Common controls available across the tabs include:

  • Search – Search records by name.

  • Refresh – Reload the latest records.

  • Add – Create a new record for the selected entity type.

  • Action Menu (⋮) – Edit or delete an existing record.

  • Tabs – Switch between the different entity types.

The Tax tab has additional configuration options because tax records support tax percentages and tax splitting.
