UCS 1000 R4.2 User Interface

Populating Fields

There are three ways to enter information in a field, as described below.

•Type the first character or first few characters of the entry.

With the cursor positioned on the field, begin to type the entry. As soon as you type enough characters to uniquely identify the desired entry, the system automatically supplies the remaining characters. If the entry is invalid, the system beeps and removes the invalid characters.

For example, given the Day: field in Figure 10 on page 10, assume that valid entries are the names of the days in the week. When you type M, the system fills in the entire word Monday because there is only one valid entry that begins with M.

However, if you type S, the system waits before filling in the day of the week because there are two valid entries that begin with S (Saturday and Sunday). At this point, if you type a, the system fills in the word Saturday. If you type u, the system fills in the word Sunday. This technique is not case-sensitive. In other words, typing either M or m in the above example results in the system filling in the word Monday.

•Press F2 (Choices) for a list of valid entries for the particular field.
