Smart Input

Facts

Enable Smart Input in the Options. Open the sample client from the Tables exercise and go into Screen 11, Interest Income. Type one of the list descriptions in Name of payer. You should see that the program automatically inserts the list description when you type the first letter of the description.

Program Considerations

Enabling Smart Input in the Options eliminates the need to access the [Ctrl]+[T] list. Smart Input inserts matching descriptions from lists as you type the description in the field.

To enable Smart Input in the Options:

1. On the Settings menu, click Options.
2. Click the Setup tab.
3. In the Numeric Detail Input section, set Smart Input to Enabled.



4. Click OK to save your changes and exit the Options.

To see how Smart Input works:

1. Open the sample client that you created for the Tables exercise.
2. Open Screen 11, Interest Income.
3. In the Name of payer field, type "A."
4. The program fills the input field with "ABC Bank."

Tips & Shortcuts

You can access the Options by clicking the Options icon on the toolbar or pressing [Ctrl]+[O].

Review

You should now be familiar with the use of lists and Smart Input, and Smart Input should be set to Enabled in the Options.
