Create Button (+)
The Create Button (+) is a universal control element within the Cloudscaff system.
Purpose
It allows users to create new entries or records within the section, tab, or page they are currently working in.
Whenever you see the yellow circular plus (+) button, it indicates that you have permission and the ability to add or create something relevant to that specific module.
Functionality
The + button dynamically adapts based on where it is used in the system.

Depending on the context, it can create a variety of records, such as:
User Management: Add a new user profile or role
Sites: Create a new job site
Inventory: Create delivery, return, and transfer notes
Documents: Create new certificates, forms, or templates
The + button is always linked to creating something new within that specific part of the system.
Visual Indicator
The Create Button is represented as a yellow circular button with a black plus sign (+) in the center.
This consistent design helps users quickly identify where new content can be created.
Behavior and Access
The button only appears where creation permissions are granted.
If a user’s role does not allow the creation of new entries, the button may be hidden or disabled.
In some modules, clicking the button will open a form, dialog, or side panel for data input.
Best Practice
When using the + button, ensure:
You are in the correct section before creating a new entry.
Complete all mandatory fields in the creation form before saving.
If unsure about what a button does in a specific section, hover over it — tooltips or labels may describe its function (e.g., “Add User,” “New Certificate”).
Summary
The Create Button is a quick and intuitive way to add new data, records, or templates to the Cloudscaff system.
Its purpose is to make creation actions clear, consistent, and accessible across all modules — helping users build and manage content efficiently within their assigned permissions.
