CA PMA Chargeback Overview › Panels You Will See When Using CA PMA Chargeback › Windowing › Prompt Pop-Up Window

Prompt Pop-Up Window

To use this feature, position the cursor at an input field for which you want information. When you press the global function key F4, a pop-up window containing choices appears. To select a choice, position the cursor next to the choice you want inserted in the field where the cursor is positioned and press Enter. This causes the pop-up window to disappear. Your choice appears in the entry field as though you typed it there.

Note: Remember, this function is dependent on the position of the cursor when you press F4.

This feature is very helpful when running CA PMA Chargeback. For example, suppose you are filling in fields on the Accounting Sources panel (shown below) and can't remember what ORD Type to use. Pressing F4 while the cursor is positioned at the ORD Type entry field causes CA PMA Chargeback to list the names of existing ORD Types so you can choose one.
