Chapter 4: Field Settings

DATESYS

When DATESYS is selected, the current date is automatically entered in the field in the same format as you have chosen in system prefs. This option give you the greatest flexibility. To select a date format, click on “Home” and then “Prefs”, and choose “Formats” from the upper right-hand menu.

USER

When USER is selected, the current PDA User ID is automatically entered in the field.

INCR:1,1

When INCR:1,1 is selected, the field is set to be an auto-incrementing field. The first digit represents the starting value while the second digit represents the increment value. The default setting INCR:1,1 starts the record as a value of 1 and increment by 1 for every following scan of a previously scanned barcode. This feature can automate a lot of data entry tasks that involve counting items.

This field setting option is dependent on both the Edit on Scan Session setting as well as the Auto Find on Scan Field setting. Refer to the appropriate Session and Field settings section of this manual for more information in those areas.

The INCR variable type can also be used to count backwards by setting the second number to a negative value. When the field reach zero, AccuScan Palm alerts the user. For example, INCR:10,-1

Signature (Pro Version Only)

When a Signature Field Type is selected, the user is prompted for a signature when the field is tapped. Signatures collected in a Signature field are HotSynced to the PC in a bitmap format. All signature files transferred during HotSync are located in a \signatures subfolder of the HotSync data transfer folder.
