# FSEDIT-Style Paging in the Edit Record Form
|
|
|
|
Anyone who has worked with SAS for a while will remember `PROC FSEDIT` - the full-screen editor that let you step through a dataset one observation at a time, seeing every variable for a single record laid out on screen. It was a simple, focused way to review and amend data without getting lost in a wide grid.
|
|
|
|
Data Controller's **Edit Record** dialog brings that experience into the browser. Instead of scanning across dozens of columns in the grid, you open a single row as a form - every field labelled and stacked vertically, with dropdowns, validations and formatting applied just as they are in the main editor.
|
|
|
|
Now you can **page through your records** without leaving the form. Previous and Next arrows move you one record at a time, and a **Current row** indicator shows exactly where you are in the extract. It's the fastest way to work through a set of rows methodically - reviewing, correcting and moving on - especially for wide tables where horizontal scrolling in the grid slows you down.
|
|
|
|
As always, everything flows through the standard Data Controller workflow: your changes are staged, validated and sent for approval before they reach the target table, with a full audit trail retained.
|
|
|
|
Administrators who prefer to keep the grid-only experience can still disable the dialog with the [`DC_RESTRICT_EDITRECORD`](https://docs.datacontroller.io/dcc-options/#dc_restrict_editrecord) option.
