F4-Search - Default Item

 When you press <F4-Select> the system defaults to the first search item (the prime index); if the operator switches the search to one of the secondary index or extra selection items then the system defaults to the same index/selection item for subsequent searches in this session and for other databases (if the next database doesn’t have an equivalent index / search item the system reverts to the first search item).

New in Release 6.5 is the ability to set a default focus item for the F4-Select search for the main application lookups. Within the Select Key Definition new options have been added for each of the databases to be able to set a default focus item.

To update the select key definition select Installation from the main menu followed by Application Manager and then Select Key Definition before selecting the application required. Each application allows you to set the F4-list items, the sort items and (now) the default focus item for each of the main company databases used within that application.

F4 Focus Item – select the F4 search item to focus on when the user presses <F4-Select> on the selected database within this application. To set for the prime-index set to ‘1’, for the secondary indexes set to ‘2’ or ‘3’, and for the extra selection items (Premier only) set to ‘4’ through ‘9’. You can see the index/extra selection items configured for the current database by pressing the <F7-Option> key.
