1.15.1 FIELD DATA

The [Field Data] group box features the following configuration:

Fixed Data Length

Select this item and enter a value to confine the data length within the specified value.

 If the input data is longer than specified, it will be truncated and saved to transaction record.

When the data is browsed on the mobile computer, it would display in a truncated manner.

 If the input data is shorter than specified, "space" or "0" can be selected to add ahead or after

the data based on either "Left" or "Right" alignment.

Below are some examples:

Fixed data length Alignment Input data Transaction record

4 Left aligned / space 123456789 1234

4 Right aligned / space 123456789 6789

10 Left aligned / 0 7654321 7654321000

10 Right aligned / 0 7654321 0007654321

Initial Value or Text

Select this item and enter a value or text that is up to 9 characters to have it show in the input

field on the screen of the mobile computer. Such value or text will be replaced by the data input. It

functions to provide the prompt of an initial value of quantity for example.

Note: When an input data is set to a “variable” for the following data collecting form to

fetch, the Initial Value/Text won’t be available.

Show Input Mark

text box. Such mark or symbol will show in a succession to highlight the input field. However as

soon as any data is input, such mark/symbol succession will be replaced by the data. The number

of input marks shown on the screen equals to the maximum length of data specified in

1.13
