Adding Form Fields (Appt Tran Type)

The Appt Tran Type form enables you to add form fields to design the gate forms for the selected appointment at the selected gate stage. You can specify the fields that N4 must display on a form. You can also control the order and the display modes of a field. In addition, you can specify whether a field is a required field or an optional field during data entry.

To add a form field:

  1. From the Field ID lookup field, select the field ID that you want to add to the gate form for the selected appointment.

In the Field ID lookup field, you can use wildcard characters to find specific field IDs.

For more information on using a lookup field, see Using lookup fields.

For the Tran Type form only, if you have configured gate transaction type flex fields, N4 displays the Long Name of the flex field as the field ID in the Field ID lookup field and also as the field label in the gate form.

For a list of available field IDs, see:

  1. The Field Description is a read-only field and displays a short description for the selected field ID.

If you include a field in a gate form, N4 displays the Field Description as a tip when a user places the mouse over the field in the form.

  1. From the Display Mode drop-down list, select one of the following display modes for the selected field:

  1. Select the Required check box, to make data entry in the selected field mandatory.

If the Required check box is selected for a field, N4 displays the field as a required field in the gate form.

  1. Click Add, to add the field to the gate form.

N4 displays all the fields added to a gate form in the All Fields area.

  1. Repeat steps 1 - 5 to add all the fields to the form.

  2. The order of the fields in the All Fields area, determines the order of the fields in a gate form.

Use the Move Up and Move Down buttons in the All Fields area to change the order of the fields.

The standard tab sequence for the gate forms is top to bottom and then left to right.

  1. Click Save.
