How to create a single document for the database?
Step one:
Click at the "sources" button on the navigation-bar and navigate to the type of source you have information about.
Choose the region and period for the piece of information you want to document and click on the field at the table
Step two: If it is the first document in this group, a new window will open. Give the sourcepiece a short title and put it in []
eg. [altarpiece in sigishoara] and click on the save button. After saving this, the title appears in red letters - which indicates a link to a new document which is empty.
Click on the title of your new document - an empty editor field opens.
