Nav Cards

Purpose and when to use this record

At a glance

  • Identify it by: Title.

  • Why care: These master records supply defaults and choices to later transactions. Correct duplicates and inactive records before staff build more activity on the wrong record.

Before you begin

You need the Brisk permission for the action you are taking on nav cards. If a Create, Edit, or Delete control is absent, do not work around it with another user’s account; ask an administrator to review your role.

Create a nav card

Brisk Nav Cards create screen displayed with fictional documentation-demo data.
The Nav Cards create screen in the Brisk documentation demo.

Create a nav card only when the existing choices do not represent the policy or classification you need. Near-duplicate setup values split reporting and make later selection harder.

  1. Select the business context first.

  2. Enter the required identifying and operational values: Title.

  3. Review the identifying information shown on the screen against the source document or approved setup decision.

  4. Save the nav card, then confirm Title on its detail page before continuing.

After saving: Open Nav Card-Dashboard Assignments, and Nav Link-Card Relations and confirm the nav card appears with the intended label and availability. Keep the old value for historical records when changing it would split or relabel prior reporting.

Delete a nav card

Delete this nav card only if it is an unused duplicate or setup mistake. Once other records refer to it, preserve that history and make the value inactive when the screen provides that option.

Before confirming, check for related Nav Card-Dashboard Assignments, and Nav Link-Card Relations. Brisk may refuse deletion when another record depends on this one; resolve the duplicate or use the supported correction workflow instead of breaking the trail.

On the confirmation page, verify Title. After confirmation, return to the Nav Cards list and make sure only the intended nav card was removed.

Review nav card details

Use the detail page as the shared record of what this nav card currently means. Verify Title before relying on it for a decision.

Compare the nav card with its source document or approved setup request before deciding that it needs correction.

Next check: Open Nav Card-Dashboard Assignments, and Nav Link-Card Relations and confirm the nav card appears with the intended label and availability. Keep the old value for historical records when changing it would split or relabel prior reporting.

Edit an existing nav card

Edit this nav card when the underlying policy or classification changed. First determine whether historical transactions should retain the old value; if so, deactivate the old choice and create a new one.

  1. Open the detail page. Compare the identifying information shown on the screen with the supporting document or approved request.

  2. Recheck the identifying information shown on the screen. These values are most likely to change future transactions, defaults, assignment, pricing, and reporting.

  3. Save the change, return to the list, and confirm that the nav card now appears under the expected the identifying information shown on the screen.

After the change: Open Nav Card-Dashboard Assignments, and Nav Link-Card Relations and confirm the nav card appears with the intended label and availability. Keep the old value for historical records when changing it would split or relabel prior reporting.

Find and review nav cards

Use the Nav Cards list to find the correct record before opening or changing it. Compare Title. Compare the full identifier rather than relying on a similar name.

Open the nav card whose Title match the task. If it is missing, clear the list filters and recheck the identifying information shown on the screen rather than creating a replacement immediately.

Common mistakes and troubleshooting

  • The record will not save: Recheck Title and any message beside the field. A required related record may also be inactive or unavailable to your role.

  • The values look right but the result is wrong: Compare this nav card with the source document or approved setup decision, then check the downstream screen where it is used.
