Entering dates with keyboard shortcuts

To enter dates with keyboard shortcuts:

  1. Position the cursor in the date field.
  2. Choose one of the following options as necessary:
    • Enter the current date—Press SPACEBAR.
    • Enter a specific date or partial date—Press numeric keys to enter the desired date (e.g., 070102), and then press TAB to exit the field. The system evaluates the date and displays the closest match in the required format (e.g., Jul/01/2002).
    Note: Use the "+" and "-" keys to change the date when the cursor is in the date field. Press the "+" key to add one day to the date. Press the "-" key to subtract one day from the date.
