Global Function Keys

The following global function key assignments appear on the DataManager Primary Panel and apply to every panel, even when they are not displayed.

F1=Help

Displays the Help pull-down (see chapter 5, "Using Help").

F3=Exit

Returns to the preceding panel if the changes you made to this panel have been saved. Pressing F3 on the Primary panel ends this DataManager session.

F4=Prompt

Displays a pop-up window that lists valid choices for the entry field your cursor is currently pointing at. To choose an entry, tab to your selection and press Enter. DataManager then displays this entry in the appropriate field as if you'd typed it there. F12 lets you erase this pop-up window without making a selection.

Note: If you request a prompt when the cursor is not on an entry field, nothing happens. All entry fields will either display a choices list or a descriptive message when you press F4.

F9=Command

Positions the cursor at the command line and prepares the command line for input.

F10=Action Bar

Positions your cursor at the action bar and allows you to tab to your selection.

F12=Cancel

Erases the current panel without saving changes made to this panel.

PA1=Susp

Lets you suspend processing for the currently active panel and activate the global action bar.
