(D) SCROLL BAR
Located on the right side of the menu.
(E) ACTIVE FIELD
When a field is highlighted you may edit the contents of that field.
The up and down arrow keys are used to scroll within menus.
Menus are composed of fields. There are three kinds of fields:
1. Alphanumeric
2. Numeric
3. List
ALPHANUMERIC FIELDS
When active, alphanumeric fields may be filled by typing alphabetic or numeric keys.
You may also type spaces, punctuation, and non-English characters. For example, to
type the character "Ñ" in the Last Name field:
1. Scroll to the Last Name field.
2. Hold down the Shift key.
3. Simultaneously press the "I" key.
Press the Enter key after filling fields to accept data and move to the next field.
NUMERIC FIELDS
When active, numeric fields may be filled by typing numeric keys only. The Eclipse
Premier will produce a "beep" sound if you try to type letters or other inappropriate
data into a numeric field.
Press the Enter key after filling fields to accept data and move to the next field.
LIST FIELDS
When active, list fields display a box with a list of choices. These are described in the
next section.
DEFAULTS
Every field has a default setting.
For example, if you skip the *Age Format field it will be filled in with "YEARS."
Unless you make another choice, the Eclipse Premier always uses defaults. Most often,
fields are left blank.
