Entering Data in a Data-Entry Field

Appendix B

The following types of data-entry fields can exist in a Propose form:

• Text/Numeric: In this type of field you may enter either specified text or numeric values.
• Dropdown list: Opens a set of predefined choices. Select a value from the dropdown list.
• Text Area/Annotation: The text area and annotation fields are for free-text entry. A scroll bar lets you view all of the characters in the fields. You can cut and paste characters into the text area/annotation field as long as you remain within the limit of 35,000 characters.
• Date Box: Enter a date into the field or select a date from the date box.
• Indicator: An indicator field is one in which the drop-down list is of colors indicating the condition of the entry. Select an Indicator from a drop-down list.

1. If more than one tab is defined in the form, click the name of the tab you want to display.
2. Click the cell and enter the appropriate text or numeric value into the data entry field, or select a value from the drop-down list or date box.
