Can You Register a New Supplier Directly From the Linked Field, Without Leaving the Record You're Filling Out?
Yes. In Jestor, when filling out a linked-record field — like the supplier on an accounts payable entry — you can create a new supplier on the spot, without leaving the form you're filling out.
Why does this avoid interrupting the entry?
Without this option, the person would need to open the suppliers table, register the new supplier separately, and then come back to the original record to select it — an unnecessary back-and-forth.
What happens when you add a new supplier from the linked field?
| Action | Result |
|---|---|
| Select existing supplier | Links the already registered record |
| Add new supplier | Opens a quick registration form, without leaving the current screen, and links the new record right away |
Why choose Jestor for one-to-many connections between tables?
Jestor lets an accounts payable entry pull information from the suppliers table through a linked field, avoiding repeating name, phone, and email on every new entry, and still letting you register a new supplier without interrupting the flow.
Does a supplier created this way show up in the suppliers table afterward?
Yes, it exists normally in the suppliers table, available to be selected on other records.
Does this only work for suppliers, or for any linked record?
The same principle applies to any many-to-one record connection, not just suppliers.
Do I need to fill out every field for the new supplier at that moment?
It depends on which fields on that table are marked as required; the rest can be filled in later.
