General Key and Standard Usage

Function Keys

    Function keys have been programmed to help you move quickly within the packages. MC provides a templet as a reference for the various keys. To use a function key, press the Shift key, the Control key, and/or function key (simultaneously). This is represented by a <SF>, <SCF>, or <F>. Please note from the templet the function key levels that apply to other MC OFFICE Software packages.

    From any bar menu screen (where your company name appears), the selected function key will proceed to the program selected. When exiting that selected program, the cursor returns to the screen from where the function key was selected. Listed below are the function keys and their uses.

Standard Usage

    ANGLE BRACKETS < >

      Angle brackets indicate the key within the bracket has to be entered.

    ARROW KEYS ( ---> )

      The arrow keys, located between the typewriter keys and the ten-key adding machine keys, move the cursor in the direction of the arrow. Only certain screens use this function; most data entry screens do not recognize these keys.

    AUTO FIELDS

      Date, state, and ZIP Code fields are automatic advance fields.

The <NL>NEWLINE (or enter) key is not used when entering the data in these auto fields.


    DATE FIELDS

      In date fields, the date is entered as numerals. For example: February 1, 2005, would be entered as 02-01-05 (MM-DD-YY). The program alphabetizes the month when spelled out. As the date is entered, the cursor automatically advances to the next position.


The <NL>NEWLINE (or enter) key is not entered after the month, day, or year.


    DOLLAR FIELDS

      Do not enter commas in dollar fields. Furthermore, it is unnecessary to enter the cents (.00) in dollar fields when entering whole numbers. When an amount includes cents, enter the cents as usual. The program will automatically enter the .00 after pressing <NL>.

    PARENTHESES

      Parentheses on a screen are for informational purposes. If a number is within the parentheses, it is for information. If nothing is within the parentheses, it is for a code to be entered.

    PATH

      The path under the screen display shows which numbers on the menu are selected to arrive at the screen being displayed. A period ( . ) is used as a break between selections. The path is used to assist the user in moving from screen to screen, and should be used like a road map, e.g. (03.01.<S>).

    PERIOD ( . )

      A period at the end of an input field indicates the character length of the field.

    STOPPING THE SYSTEM

      The programs do not permit shortcuts. The <ESC> and <F1> function keys are used only when shown on the screen. Each terminal should be properly logged off when completed prior to shutting down the system.


This is done prior to shutting down the system. Improper logging off will cause corrupt data files.
