Data Entry Forms Screen Layout

The CSPro window is split in half. The left side contains the data entry tree and three tabs at the bottom. The two tabs of interest when designing forms are the Dict [Dictionary] and Form tabs at the bottom. By pressing either one you will be able to view the dictionary tree or the data entry tree on the left side.

If you generated the screens by default, then the system will display the data entry tree and the Form tab on the left, and the first form created on the right window.

If you opted for creating the forms yourself then the system will display the data dictionary tree and the Dict tab on the left, and a blank form on the right. You are now ready to start dragging items and/or records from the dictionary to the form(s).

If you did not have a data dictionary, then the system will display the data dictionary tree and the Dict tab on the left, and the dictionary window on the right.

Use the Window menu to display a list of currently open files at the bottom of the Window menu. A check mark appears in front of the name of the file in the active window. Activate a window by choosing the name of its file from this list.

You can also switch between the forms and dictionary window by pressing either or in the Toolbar.
