Fields

• Yellow Fields

- Right mouse click to select from an existing list of keys.

• Light Blue (Key) Fields - with referential integrity
- Right mouse click or F12 will allow selection only.
- Data listed in a light blue field is defined at another location. For example, COMPONENTS, displayed in the Group field below, has been previously established at: Documents > Parameters > Groups > Product Groups

• White Fields
- Not accessable or editable. Data in white fields is a result of transaction processing.

• Right click mouse in a blue field will open a selection table.

• F12 in a blue field will open the same selection table.

• All documents are editable WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) pages. This allows the user to operate in a natural 'form filling in environment'. Printed and emailed documents are as they appear on screen.

• Place the mouse/cursor at the begining of the field and strike Space-bar to clear a field.

• To delete a field (permanently), click the 'Delete' button from the ribbon with the mouse/cursor in the field to be deleted. Deleteing the first field within a document, ie, the Product Code as seen above, will result in all the fields on the page deleted.
