During this topic we will identify and explain data entry fields.
Steps:
Click the Main Menu button.
Step 1Click the Workforce Administration menu.
Step 2Click the Personal Information menu.
Step 3Click the Biographical menu.
Step 4Click the Volunteer Activities menu.
Step 5Enter "00" into the Empl ID field.
Step 6When the Autocomplete function is enabled (My Personalizations), the system provides a list of Empl IDs based on the text you enter in the Empl ID field.
Click the sonu nayar object.
Step 7The system completed the data entry that you selected from the auto complete.
Click the Search button.
Step 8Some fields on a page are required, meaning that you must enter a value in the field before you can save the page. The asterisks (*) next to the Volunteer Organization, Start Date, and Type of Volunteer fields indicate that these are required fields.
Step 9An edit box with prompt button uses a Lookup button, which looks like a magnifying glass, and can be used to look up a valid value for the field. It opens a separate page that enables you to search the database for the data you need.
Click the Look up Volunteer Organization button.
Step 10A modal prompt is a child window that requires you to interact with it before you can return to operating the parent application. An example of this is the Look Up page.
The Look Up page displays a list of all the valid values for the field. In this example, the page displays a list of all the volunteer organizations in the database.
Click the Close button.
Step 11When entering information in a date field, you can use the date prompt button. Clicking the button opens a small calendar that displays the current month and day. You may also enter the current day's date by typing the word "today" in a date field. When you exit the field, the system converts the word "today" to the current date in correct date format.
Click the Choose a date button.
Step 12Click the Choose Month list.
Step 13For this exercise, you want to enter a start date of May 14, 2015.
Select the May list item.
Step 14Click on 14.
Step 15Notice that when you selected the day, the system exited the calendar, and entered and the formatted date selected.
Step 16A list box is a field similar to an edit box, but with a down arrow within the box. Click the down arrow to display a list of values from which you can select a single option.
Click the Type of Volunteer list.
Step 17For this example, the type of volunteer work is Fund Raising.
Click the Fund Raising list item.
Step 18A check box is a small square box that turns an option on or off. Select the box to add a check mark and the option is on. Remove the check and the option is off.
In this example, the Is Volunteer on Leave check box option is off and you want to turn it on.
Click the Is Volunteer on Leave option.
Step 19A radio button is a small round button that represents one option in a group of mutually exclusive options. Only one radio button in a group can be selected at one time.
Step 20Navigate to the General Comments page, for example, to see a long edit box. In the navigation path at the top of the page, find the name of the desired menu and click to display the cascade.
Click the Biographical button.
Step 21Click the General Comments menu.
Step 22An edit box is a rectangular box into which you enter data. The number of characters you can enter is determined by the length of the database field.
Step 23A Comment is a field into which you enter lengthy custom text, such as comments. These boxes store free-form text.
Notice that when the edit box is empty, no scroll bar appears.
Step 24When you enter more lines than can be displayed at the same time in the default size of the box, the system adds a vertical scroll bar and allows you to continue entering text. Use the scroll bar to move through the text.
Step 25Click the Home link.
