# SOME BASICS The way Weight a’Minute works is by creating a “record” for every day for which you provide details. Over time, the number of records builds up and you can analyse them to see how you are progressing against your target weight. Sometimes, you will want to search for specific records. When you have found your chosen records, you will be working with a “found set.” The number of records in the found set may therefore be less than the total number of records in Weight a’Minute. You can analyse, sort and print any found set. A note at the foot of the Detail screen and Analysis screen tells you whether you are dealing with all records or with a found subset. For example, in the Details screen shown below, a note in the bottom left-hand corner tells you "1 of 1 found, 1 total." This means that you are looking at record number 1 of a found set that contains 1 record, and that the total number of records is 1. If you had 20 records in your file, you had done a search that isolated 10 of them and you were looking at the second record in that set, the note would say "2 of 10 found, 20 total."
### Details Screen
## Navigation The bottom left-hand corner of the screen also contains a suite of buttons for navigating through the records in Weight a'Minute. The buttons work as follows:
| This button takes you to the first record.
| This button takes you to the previous record.
| This button enables you to select a specific record.
| This button takes you to the next record.
| This button takes you to the last record.
## Buttons The following main buttons are on the Details and Analysis screens. ### Details Screen Button There is a Details screen button in the same place on every one of the main screens; this takes you to the Details screen. ### Analysis Screen Button There is an Analysis screen button in the same place on every one of the main screens; this takes you to the Analysis screen. ### Settings Screen Button There is a Settings screen button in the same place on every one of the main screens; this takes you to the Settings screen. ### About Picture Clicking on the picture of the scales in the top left-hand corner of any screen takes you to the About screen. ### "New" Button Clicking on this button creates a new record for you to add details to. ### "Duplicate" Button Clicking on this button duplicates the current record. ### "Delete" Button Clicking on this button deletes the current record. ### "Delete All" Button Clicking on this button deletes all the found records. This is obviously a powerful tool, which you could use to delete all of the records in Weight a'Minute. (This is one of the reasons why it is a good idea to make a regular backup of your data. See Menu Items for more detail on backing up.) This button can be useful if you want to delete a group of records: after you have isolated the records that you want to delete in a search – so that only those records are in the found set – click the "delete all" button to delete all of those records; all the other records in Weight a'Minute will be left untouched. ### "Print" Button Clicking on this button prints whatever records you have showing in your found set. When you click on the button, you will see the standard Print dialog, so that you can choose whichever options you prefer. The printout is designed for colour printing, but also prints finely in black and white. Before you print, make sure you specify a paper size: this is done in the Settings screen. ### "Find" Button Clicking on this button takes you to the Find screen, so that you can look for specific records ### Help There is a help button in the same place on every one of the main screens; this takes you to the Help pages. The Help pages are designed to offer quick help there and then; if you want more detailed guidance, you should refer back to this Manual.
