How do I protect the fields populated during processing?

For instance, suppose you download information from the host and populate documents using Documaker. The form set is then saved to work-in-process using the GenWIP program for further processing by a data entry operator.

The user retrieves records using Documaker Desktop, enters additional information and completes the form set. However, the operator can also create a form set from scratch using Documaker Desktop. You, however, must make sure the fields which are filled during batch processing are not overwritten.

After running the GenWIP program and creating the WIP transactions, an entry operator would the enter the last bit of data that is flagged as operator required. To protect the fields that are populated during batch, use this option:

AFEMNW32 /mode=wip 

From the command line you could enter AFEMNW32 /mode=wip or you could set up an icon that points to the library to have /mode=wip in the target, for example:

D:\FAP\DLL\AFEMNW32.EXE /mode=wip  

Also, for the icon, make sure the start in directory points to your batch library where your WIP transactions are located. When the operator opens AFEMNW32 in this manner, he or she will only have access to the fields flagged as operator required. Use Tab and Shift+Tab keys to move through the fields that need entry.
