Set Focus To A Field Steps

Note: BPA scripts only. This step type is only applicable to BPA scripts.

CAUTION: Guiding scripts that interact with the underlying page's fields and buttons are limited to surf over fixed pages only and are considered legacy functionality. This technique is not supported on top of portal pages and is planned to be deprecated in a future release.

Set focus to a field steps cause the cursor to be placed in a specific field on a page. A Continue button always appears in the script area when this type of step executes. The user may click the Continue button when they are ready for the script to continue. You may configure steps of this type to display one or more buttons in addition to the Continue button. For example, you may want to provide the ability for the user to return to a previous step to fix incorrect information. The user may click on any of these buttons when ready for the script to continue.

The following additional fields are required for Set focus to a field steps:

Destination Field Name defines the field on which focus should be placed. This field must reside on the currently displayed tab page. Refer to How To Find The Name Of User Interface Fields for instructions on how to find the appropriate Field Name.

The Prompt Values grid may be used to define additional buttons. A separate button is displayed in the script area for each entry in this grid.

Prompt Text is the verbiage to appear on the button. Refer to How To Substitute Variables In Text for a description of how you can substitute field values into the prompts.
Sequence controls the order of the buttons.
Next Script Step defines the step to execute if the user clicks the button.
