Normal Field Navigation

In addition to navigating by mouse, you can navigate between fields by using the [Next Field] and [Previous Field] key sequences. At the last enterable field of a non-repeating block of questions, [Next Field] moves the cursor to the first enterable field of the next group of questions. Within a repeating question group at the last enterable field of a repeat, [Next Field] moves the cursor to the first enterable field of the next repeat, or, if that repeat is not enterable, to the next question group.

Note:

If a field has been defined as nonenterable, the cursor skips over that field when you use [Next Field] and [Previous Field]. However, you can use the mouse to move to the field—for instance, to get field help information; but even in this case, the field is not updateable.

In repeating groups, [Down] and [Up] move your cursor to the same field on the next or previous record. If you are on the first repeat, [Up] moves the cursor out of the group into the first field on a line above the current field. When you are on the last repeat, if you cannot create new repeats, [Down] moves the cursor out of the group to the first field on a line below the current field. If you can create new repeats and are on the last repeat, [Down] creates a new repeat.

In non-repeating groups, [Down] moves your cursor to the first field on a line below the current field. Similarly, in non-repeating groups, [Up] moves your cursor to the first field on a line above the current field.

In repeating groups, [Previous Record] and [Next Record] move the cursor to the first enterable field in the previous or next record, respectively.

When navigating into a repeating group, [Up] and [Down] skip blank repeats.
