With the input of values, there are many other
possibilities:
- In the case of a faulty input (e.g. date)
the corresponding field gets a red background. Please correct the
value before you save it.
- With the input of a date, a comma instead
of the point can be entered.
- Beside
the manual input of a date, you can select it with the help of a
popup-dialog. Therefore, you click the calendar symbol on the right
side the input field. Then a dialog opens, in which you can select the
date with the mouse.
- In date fields, you can switch to the next or
previous date by pressing an arrow key (up or down) and the command
key.
- In numeric fields, you are able to decrease or
increase the value by pressing an arrow key (up or down) and the
command key.
- With fields, which contain values with a unit
(length, weight...), it is also possible to enter the values with
another unit (e.g.: cm instead of mm). Therefore, you press the Button
on the right side of the input field. In the opening dialog, you
select the value with the wished unit.
- With fields, which contain values (number,
amount...), a formula (e.g. 12 + 5) may be entered. You see such a
formula by the yellow background of the field. The result is
calculated when you leave the field. To change the value, you can go
back to the field. Then you edit the formula, again. Also for times,
you can enter a formula.
- With
some fields (manufacturer, dealer, company...), a selection from a
predefined list is possible. You can administer this list with the
point "Default values" from the popup-menu or with the preferences.
- With the Button "I" on the right side of a
popup-menu, you can enter additional information about the selected
value (e.g.: address). These data are valid for all models.
- In some fields, you can format the entered text.
This works like in most word processors.
