AccuScan Palm specializes in streamlining screen interaction. We do this through implementation of several unique features. This allows for very fast and accurate data entry. One of the features to aid in this is using the Up/Down keys on your PDA.

The Up Arrow key allows the user to move up one field on the Entry Screen. (Please note that this does not follow the ‘Go To’ field settings. It simply moves up one field on the Entry screen.)

The Down Arrow key allows the user to move down one field in the Entry Screen. The Down Arrow key is actually used to trigger the ‘After Scan’ rules and AccuScan Palm behaves just like it would after receiving a valid barcode scan. If, for example, the Auto Submit flag is enabled for the current field, and the user presses the Down Arrow key, the current record is submitted and all of the After Scan field settings for the field are respected; including the ‘Go To’ Field. This is especially useful for the users that do not have a barcode enabled PDA.
