Signed-on users with the relevant rights can create a new record by clicking on the Create Record link.

 

Note: The Administrator has to give you the required permission to create and edit records on a specific project for specific fields. If you are unable to edit or create records in a specific project, contact your Administrator.

Before attempting to create a record, be sure that the source language is set to the Default Index field (English). If your source language is not set to the Default Index field, you will not be able to view the record once it has been created.
