Datafile Areas

Of the three text areas of iData 2 Ñ Find Box, Fields Area, and Freeform Text Area Ñ only one can be active for typing at one time. There are key commands for changing which area is active. These may be useful when you don't want to change the current text selection by using the mouse to click in the text.

Find Box    [  (Command-left square bracketl)

Fields Area      ]   (Command-right square bracketl)

Find Box     \  (Command-backslash)

Links

It is sometimes difficult to edit web address, email links, and file links while they are active (blue underlined). To remedy this, links can be temporarily deactivated and reactivated with a toolbar button or a key command.

 

Deactivate Links   ^ D (Control-Command-d)

When you are done editing you can reactivate links.

Activate Links   ^ A (Control-Command-a)

Going to a new record will automatically activate links.
