In this chapter, you added prompt processing by creating an inheritance triple, Employee is a OBASE/Referenced entity. This functionality enables end users to display a list of employees by pressing F4 while the cursor is in the Employee ID field on the panel that displays tasks. The list is displayed in a separate panel (the following example shows the panel populated with data you enter at the end of this section):

End users can select an employee from the list, which puts the corresponding ID in the Employee ID field on the Task panel. This keeps your end users from having to memorize potentially cryptic Employee ID values (such as Emp03), instead letting them pick by name, email address, or some other criterion.
You will be able to use this new functionality at the end of the next section.
