There are two main Data Entry options, whose use is largely mutually exclusive. They are both set globally on the General screen in Preferences and can be overridden for individual users using the File menu at the main splash screens.
An option is available whereby Enterprise 6 can remember the code(s) of the last record looked at, and then use that code for what you do next. For example, if you are looking at a Company, then put it away and choose ‘Enter to Diary’, the Company (and Contact) will be entered to the Diary screen by default if this option is on. Having this option on is especially useful when using the View menu (see below under Input Screen menus for more details). The option is set globally on the General screen in Preferences and can be overridden for individual users using the File menu at the main splash screens.
If this is switched on, Enterprise 6 will present a new, blank record screen for data entry after the previous record has been saved. This would be useful when, for example, you are entering many new products from a price list and to continually have to select ‘Enter Products’ would be time-consuming and annoying. It would not be convenient to have both Entry Defaults and Batch Entry switched on, as the code of the new record would default to that of the previous record entered.
