Using Navigation Buttons

BBSM Hotspot web pages use navigation buttons to help you locate information. Use the navigation buttons to locate the correct record before making changes. (See Table 2-7.)

When no records exist for that function, the button is disabled. For example, the First and Previous buttons are grayed out when you are viewing the first record.
