# 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.
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.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.cloudscaff.com/general-tools-and-features/create-button-+.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
