The following field types can appear: · · · · · · Text fields (see page 79) Numeric fields (see page 79) Menu fields (see page 80) Time fields (see page 80) Date fields (see page 81) Filename fields (see page 81) 78 TerraSync Software Getting Started Guide User Interface and Data Entry 3 If the field computer has a physical keyboard, use it to enter text or numbers, just as you would in any Windows program. If you do not have a keyboard, use the on-screen keyboards for data entry. An on-screen keyboard is a small dialog that pops up from the taskbar when you select a field that allows data entry. Use the on-screen keyboard to specify the text or number you want to enter. An on-screen keyboard may provide "keys" for you to tap, or may accept handwriting which it interprets as text. If you use an on-screen keyboard to enter values, the TerraSync software automatically moves the focus to the next field on the form. To move through the fields on a form, repeatedly tap Enter on the on-screen keyboard. If the field computer has a physical keyboard, press the Tab key to move through the fields. When you reach the end of the form, the focus moves to the first field on the form. Text fields To enter a value in a text field, use an on-screen keyboard or the physical keyboard. If you are using a field computer with on-screen keyboards, a keyboard pops up automatically when you select a text field. The keyboard that pops up is the one that was selected when you started the TerraSync software. Numeric fields To enter a value in a numeric field, use an on-screen or physical keyboard. If the field computer uses on-screen keyboards, the Trimble numeric keyboard (see page 59) pops up when you select a numeric field. B Tip ­ Any text or numeric field can be defined as an auto-incrementing attribute. See also Auto-incrementing attributes, page 83. TerraSync Software Getting Started Guide 79 3 User Interface and Data Entry Menu fields A menu field has a predefined list of values associated with it. To change the selected value, tap the drop-down arrow at the right of the field and select an option from the list. Field name Unselected field with drop-down list available Selected field with drop-down list displayed List of values for the selected field Scroll bar The current value in a drop-down list is highlighted. If a drop-down list has more options than fit on one screen, a scroll bar appears on the right. Drag the scroll bar or tap the arrow buttons to scroll up and down the list. Some menu fields can store either a value you enter or a value you select from a list. [. . . ] Tap OK to save the attribute changes and return to the Update Features screen. 3. 5. 6.
