Entering data with the prompt machine

Enter data into the data collection module with the Prompt Machine form instead of a barcode scanner, as necessary. Submit one or more transactions of a selected transaction type.

Note: You must tab through the prompt data fields. You cannot navigate through the form by performing a left-mouse click on a specific field. The only field available for navigation in this manner (by performing a left-mouse click) is Transaction Type.

To enter data with the prompt machine:

  1. Open the Prompt Machine form.
  2. Transaction Type—Enter the transaction type for which to enter data. The system automatically populates the description of the transaction type and displays the prompt data fields associated with the transaction type.
  3. Click Add Transaction.
  4. Enter data for the prompt data fields as necessary.
  5. Click Add to List.
  6. Click Process Transactions.
    Note: If you tab from the current Prompt Data to a lower-numbered Prompt Data, the system automatically adds the record to the Transactions list, completing the current transaction and beginning a new transaction.
