This is the insert dialog and it is the users way to insert new references.
The edit dialog looks the same except that it don't have the arrow buttons.
The insert dialog and edit dialog contains a number of input fields and a number of buttons.
The diffrent fields are marked in two diffrent colors: black for specifying that a field are required and white for specifying that a field is optional. The all required fields, except the id field, can be overridden by the user and will give a warning if the user choose to do so, if 'Show warnings' in preferences is choosen. If the id field is empty or if contains an Id which already exist an error message will be promted, telling the user that.
If the user are inserting references in to the reference database the buttons will do following:
will,
if the reference is valid, insert all the references in to the reference
database if user are inserting. If the user are doing some editing will
this button update reference database with the changes made.
will, if the reference
is valid, take user to the previous reference. This button is only available
when you are inserting.

if the reference is valid, take you to the next reference or a new if you
already have the last reference. This button is only available when you
are inserting
If the reference is not valid a message will be shown telling if your reference is missing some field and a warning if you are missing a important field, if you have selected Show warnings in preferences.

kind of reference your are editing. If you have choosen Lazy update in

the change be immediate.

shown fields.
