Chapter 3: Sessions

option takes effect only when this session was the last one used – each session has its own settings.

Start On Field

Select the first field the User is focused on when New is selected from the data view screen. This setting is commonly selected to control what data must be entered when the program is initially opened.

Example: A session is created to capture package delivery information. Date and Time stamps are captured in fields 1 and 2. The bar-coded Package ID will be entered into is Field

3.In this scenario the Start On is set to Field 3 since Field 1 and 2 are auto entered via automatic date and time stamps.

Edit on scan/Find in grid

Select Edit on scan/Find in grid to automatically open records in the data entry screen when a record is located using ‘Find’ or scanning on the main grid screen. Note that the Find Field affects which field’s data is used for searching.

Example: A session is created to perform an inventory audit. The goal of the audit is to quickly find items in the AccuScan Palm database and compare the database values to the actual inventory levels. To speed this process, the Edit on scan/Find in grid setting is enabled. When an item is scanned in the find field and located in the database, the matching record is automatically brought up in the data entry screen for editing.

Edit on Click in Grid

A similar option for automatically editing a record is the behavior of editing a record immediately upon clicking it in the grid. Selecting this option is very useful for the user who is performing a lot of edits to existing data.

Note: When this option is selected, it is not possible to delete a single selected record from the grid. The user must turn this option off before being able to delete single records. The Delete All menu choice behavior is not affected.

3.2.2HotSync Settings

HotSync settings are used to control how data is routed during HotSync to the PC.

Delete Data After HotSync

Select Delete Data After HotSync if the data should be removed form the PDA after a successful HotSync. Note that if data is not successfully transferred to the PC, as a safety precaution, it will not be deleted from the PDA even when this option is enabled.
