Data Field Events And Actions

Data Field Events And Actions
Data Field Actions are used to modify the content of the Data Field which
results in an event.
An example is provided to better understand how Data Field Actions work in
correlation to Data Field Events. For this example, we have a printer with a
forms count defined in a data field in which after each form prints, the count is
updated to reflect the correct number of forms still to be printed. Once the
count reaches zero, we want a message to display in the second line of the
front panel. To do this, we need to define a Data Field and enter the total
forms count (Figure 23).
