Grid Navigation
Many tabs in this application include grids. These grids
are designed to enhance productivity by primarily using keyboard entry.
Two types of grids exist: list grids and entry grids.
To Move Between Fields on a Grid
Use the Tab key to move
forward between fields or the Shift + Tab to move backward to the previous field within
the grid.
To Select an Entry from a Grid
Click an entry with your mouse, or tab to the entry
and then press the Enter key to select the entry.
To Sort the List on a Grid
Sorting allows you to quickly locate an entry. Click
a column title to sort the contents of the grid by that column.
To Create a New Entry on a Grid
On entry grids, press the Tab
or Enter key in a field to create a new line.
The system automatically starts the next line and frequently defaults
the first few fields; for example, a sequential line number and date.
To Use Drop-Down List
Some fields within entry grids provide a drop-down
list of items.
To open a drop-down list when in a field, press the Tab key. If the field is empty and required, or has
an incorrect field value, a drop-down list displays automatically.
If you enter a value into the field, the drop-down list
begins by displaying the items that match the value. If no match is made,
all items display.
You must select an item from the drop-down list. Navigate
the drop-down list using the Tab key, up and
down arrow keys, the scroll bar, or your mouse.
To select an item from the drop-down list, press Enter or double-click the mouse on the item you want
to select.
