The Proposed Software's Interface
The interface is divided into standardized information screens and menus.
Information screens will feature easy-to-use data entry and selection:
- "Hot-keys"
[ALT] and an appopriate key will jump directly to that entry
- Arrow and [TAB] controls
Use of the arrow keys and [TAB] and [Shift]+[TAB] to get to the next and
previous entries as well as [Home], [End] and the [Page] keys to move
to first and last entries or selections
Smart data entry:
- Templated entry areas
Phone numbers, ZIP codes, drivers license numbers, etc. all have templated
entry areas. Trying to enter a name or a badly formed number in a "phone
number" area won't be allowed
- "Wild cards"
When doing searches, entering partial data will let you select from the
closest matches
