Task Page
A task page is also called a form. There are two types of forms: regular and
special.
Regular forms provide the only way to change the system state. When a form
is displayed, the values in the fields are either current or default values. You
can enter information in a regular form by typing it into the text boxes or by
choosing the radio button options.
Regular forms have an OK button. If you enter or change information in such a
form, you must click the OK button to activate the changes and change the
system state.
Some forms also have a Reset button. If you want to discard your changes, use
the Reset button to return fields to their previous values.
The user-input elements in a form are described in Table 3-1.
