Click vs Tab Navigation

You can navigate through the form either by using your mouse to click to answers or by pressing the tab key on your keyboard.

  • If the question on the form is a dropdown, radio button, or check box, once you click the answer to the question, the system will automatically move the cursor to the next question that must be answered.
  • If the answer to the question is a text box, you need to use the tab key to automatically be navigated to the next question that must be answered.

Some questions or groups of questions on a given form can be repeated multiple times. The term ‘Multiple’ applies to this feature of a form.

Multiple Instances

The number of multiple instances displays in a parenthesis after the multiple title in the section header. You can add a multiple instance by clicking on either the multiple section header or footer.

When you answer a question on the form and it does not meet the validation rules, the system will display an Error icon to the left of the field. This feature also allows you to view queries within a form.

Error Message, Override, and Comments

When you click the Error icon, the system displays the following:

  • Error message for that question. If there are multiple errors on that question, click on the answer to be forwarded to the next error message.
  • The system displays the appropriate override codes for that question.
  • If you need to enter an override code, you can provide a short comment to explain why the field was answered the way it was.

Clear Field

Clear Field icon only appears on radio button answer types. When you click the Clear Field icon, the system removes the answer for that specific question only.

Field Change History

Once the form has been submitted, if you go back into the form to edit an answer, the system displays a Field Change History pop-up box. Select a code to describe the reason for changing the answer before navigating away from the question or screen. The field change history codes display in the Form Change History.
