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.
