The field types are described in the following paragraphs:

text field

Text field contains some type of numeric or

 

 

alphanumeric data. It can be edited directly, using

 

 

the usual editing functions, when the form is in

 

 

editing state. The text field can expand to more

 

 

than one line if necessary.

 

 

In view state a text field looks identical to a

 

 

corresponding list item.

pop-up field

Pop–up field offers a possibility to choose one value

 

 

from a pre–defined list.

 

 

In view state a pop–up field looks identical to a list

 

 

item; the text is the current value of the field.

 

 

In edit state it has a distinct look that identifies the

 

 

field as a pop–up list.

 

 

To edit the item in edit state, the user can press the

 

 

Select key; it opens into a menu list that contains

 

 

the available values. The highlight is on the current

 

 

value. When the list is open, the softkeys are OK and

 

 

Cancel, as usual with a menu list. Both softkeys

 

 

return to the edit state in the form.
