Double Key In Order Registry entry

Specifies whether fields must be keyed in the order given by a Double Key Skip Columns Registry entry with a minus (-) entry.

Double keying of registrations is an aid to keying accuracy. There are two modes for double keying:

  • Users are able to enter data in fields in any order.
  • Users must enter data in fields in the order specified in a Double Key Skip Column Registry entry.

When the list of columns in a Double Key Skip Column Registry entry is preceded by a minus (-), the columns must be double keyed by data entry users.

If a Double Key In Order Registry entry is set to true, data entry users are also required to key fields in the order they are listed in the Double Key Skip Column Registry entry (in other words, as they tab between fields, the cursor will move from field to field in the order specified by the Double Key Skip Column Registry entry).

Usage

This Registry entry is assigned to groups:

KeyGroupGroup
Key 1GroupGroup
Key 2groupDefault
Key 3TableTable
Key 4tableDefault
Key 5Double Key In Order
Valueboolean
GroupgroupTabletableDouble Key In Orderboolean
GroupDefaultTableDefaultDouble Key In Orderboolean

where:

boolean

is true (the user is taken from one double key field listed in a Double Key Skip Column Registry entry to the next by the system) or false (the user keys fields in any order they see fit).

Note: If this entry is not present, a setting of false is assumed.

Example

This entry specifies that the system will take the users from one double key field to the next when double keying:

KeySetting
Key 1 Group
Key 2 Default
Key 3 Table
Key 4 Default
Key 5 Double Key In Order
