# Create Button (+)

## **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.

<div align="left" data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="https://3532476255-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FsVJ0qURLvzCOxTGXEZIZ%2Fuploads%2FrCov3V0UQpu0JDXiXZDg%2FScreenshot%202025-10-31%20at%2015.49.00.png?alt=media&#x26;token=bbd0d923-98fd-4ebb-b3f2-f7364faa40d2" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

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:

1. You are in the correct section before creating a new entry.
2. Complete all mandatory fields in the creation form before saving.
3. 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.
