 Some fields are repeatable. **Repeatable fields** display a blue [+] button next to it. Clicking on that button will create a new, empty field of the same type and name. Within repeatable fiels, the order of fields sometimes matters (e.g. for parts of a name), this is why each instance of a repeatable field has its own [+] button. So you can add a new field exactly where you want it to be. Some fields are repeatable. **Repeatable fields** display a blue [+] button next to it.

 +Once you start entering data into a field, the editing client starts checking if your data is in the right format. If not, you will get a red box around your field and an error message telling you what's wrong. As long as you have invalid fields in your record, you cannot save it. If your data is ok, the box around the field turns green.

 +If you need to **delete information** from a field, you can do so just be deleting the data. If it is a repeated field, that instance will disappear once the record is saved. To remove a complex field from the record make sure all parts of the complex field are emptied.

 +An important feature of the CERL Thesaurus is recording of the relationship between two or more entities in the form of links between their records. This could be a person's record linked to those of their parents or a printers record linked to the record of the place where they had their printing shop. 
 +
 +Fields that may contain links are marked by a yellow-ish/orange button with a looking glass. To establish a link, click on the looking glass button and enter a search term into the search box that will pop up.

 +Pick the record from the result list, you  want to link to by clicking on it. This will write the record id of that record into the field that contains the link (often labelled "ID"). Although the record itself keeps only the id of the link target, additional information from that target record will be taken into account when someone does a search in the CT interface.
