A feature of Texada SRM is the Paging Screen.
A paging screen allows the user to view multiple records at the
same time on the monitor.
The records are viewed similar to a "rolling screen". A good
example of a paging screen is Chart Of
Accounts.
Refer to the sample below:
.-----------------------------------------------------------------------. | | | CHART OF ACCOUNTS | | --------------------------------------------------------------------- | | SEQ# ACCT# DESCRIPTION TYPE | | ---- ----- ----------- ---- | | 0001 1000 BANK A | | 0002 1100 CASH - CLEARING A | | 0003 1130 CASH ON HAND (CASH FLOAT) A | | 0004 1135 PETTY CASH A | | 0005 1200 ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE A | | 0006 1230 ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCTS A | | 0007 1240 MERCHANDISE FOR RE-SALE A | | 0008 1250 PARTY MERCHANDISE FOR RE-SALE A | | 0009 1290 PREPAID EXPENSES A | | 0010 1300 RENTAL EQUIPMENT A | | 0011 1301 ACCUM. DEPRECIATION - RENTAL EQUIP. A | | | `-----------------------------------------------------------------------'MAKING CHANGES IN A GUI PAGING SCREEN BY KEYBOARD
The Up/Down Arrows move the cursor to the next record within the
SAME column of the paging screen.
For example, if the cursor was at the description PETTY CASH,
pressing Down Arrow moves the cursor to ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
description.
Any changes made will be accepted without pressing
<ENTER>.
For example, if the description is changed from PETTY CASH to PETTY
CASH BOX and then Down Arrow to ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, the change
will be accepted without pressing <ENTER>.
This is the fastest method of making changes within a
column.
SEQUENCE NUMBERS IN A PAGING SCREEN
Sequence numbers are automatically assigned by the software when
information is entered. Generally the sequence number assigned
indicates the order that the information was added.
When making changes in a paging screen, there are several ways to move the cursor to the desired sequence number either by mouse or keyboard. Here are a few tips:
For example, when doing a Customer Lookup ask the software to display customers beginning with K. When in the paging screen, pressing Page Up or CTRL-Home does not display customers prior to K. To see customers prior to K, restart the lookup. To restart the lookup, press ESCAPE or / Cancel key to return to the initial prompt for Alpha (Customer Name).
Note: A Listbox screen lists data records similar to a
Paging Screen and is used in utilities such as a search
window selection lists where data records need to be displayed with
no ability to modify them.
List boxes do not display any sequence numbers.
The advantage of a Listbox screen is that records can be resorted
by any column in ascending or descending order, by clicking in the
column heading.
Columns can also be dragged and dropped to reposition them as
required.
DELETING IN A PAGING SCREEN
To delete a single line within a paging screen, follow these
steps:
To delete several lines within a paging screen, follow these steps:
INSERTING/ADDING IN A PAGING SCREEN
To make Additions to information on a paging screen, adding the
entries at the bottom is generally acceptable.
By pressing ADD the software will display the next available
sequence number, resulting in adding to the END of existing entries
automatically.
To Insert a line within existing information instead of adding
it to the end, click on the sequence number below where the new
line needs to be inserted to highlight that record.
Click the INSERT button and enter the new information. This
information will be added ahead of information previously assigned
to that line.
Examine the examples below to see this in action.
