I have a list of records. A new record will be added on a regular basis, but only one record at a time. Having trouble deciding on the best location for the "Add New Button". Clicking on the button will open a new window where the user can enter record details.
Two options are being considering:
- A list with an add record button outside the list (above, below, left aligned, right aligned?)
- A list with a permanent additional row (either top or bottom) with a link to add new record. Making it clear the new record will be added to this table.
My client loves 2, but I'm having trouble find any existing examples. So is this used anywhere successfully?
