Entering Different Kinds of Data

You can enter data in many ways, depending on how your administrator set up the form:

  • Enter data directly in the cell.

  • If a data cell displays the Down Arrow, you select a value from a list, called a Smart List. You can skip to a value by typing its first one or two letters. For example, in a list of months, skip to September by typing s.

  • Members that are set up as percentages display with a percent sign (%) in the cell. You can enter a percentage value as a decimal or as a percentage, such as 60%.

  • When you click into a cell that is set up for text data, a box displays. Enter your text into the box. When you enter text in cells, don’t use angle brackets (< >). The maximum length of text data you can enter is 4000 characters.

  • When you save data, business rules are run that your administrator set up to launch when the form is saved.
