Learn how to:

• Add or remove fields
• Error markings and color
• Make a field mandatory

Add or remove fields

You can add or remove individual fields or groups in the production view. Removing unused fields makes the page more manageable to work with. Add groups if you need, for instance, Drop point address, Details, Dangerous Goods etc.

Add or remove groups

1. Go to Main > Production and select Tools > Setup Current View in the top menu.
   
   
2. Select the Groups tab. Check or uncheck the relevant groups. Unchecking a group will remove all the fields inside the group. 
   
   
   
   
3. Click OK to save.

Add or remove individual fields

1. To add or remove individual fields, place the cursor inside a group right-click, and choose Field selector. In this example, we are editing the receiver address fields:
   
   
   
   
2. Select or deselect the relevant fields. Use the arrows on the right to control the order in which the fields appear. 
   
   
   
   
3. Click OK to save.

Error markings and color

You can turn on error markings and different field colors to help guide you through the production.

1. Go to Main > Production and select Tools > Setup Current View in the top menu.
   
   
2. Select the Groups tab and check Show error markings. 
   
   
   
   
3. Click the User tab to control colors. Click the three dots "..." next to each color to open the color picker and choose your desired color. 
   
   
   
   
4. Click OK in all windows to save your settings. The image below shows error markings and focused field color. Error markings are shown in mandatory fields that are empty or have wrong values.
   
   

Make a field mandatory

Some fields are mandatory because the carrier requires them, and these validations cannot be changed. However, you may configure any field as mandatory in your production view. 

1. Right-click on the field that should be mandatory and select Field properties.
   
   
   
   
2. Check Field is mandatory. Click OK to save.
   
   

Inside the field settings, you also have several possibilities to control what happens when you press the Enter or Tab key. If you activate Enterstop or Tabstop, you can work your way through these fields without using the mouse. :

When you press the Enter key:

Enterstop - Always. Always stop in this field

Enterstop - If the field is empty. Stop in this field if it is empty.

Enterstop - Never. Always skip this field.

When you press the Tab key:

Tabstop - Always. Always stop in this field.

Tabstop - Never. Always skip this field

1. Go to Tools > Setup Current View.
   
   
2. In the General tab, click the Restore to defaults button placed at the bottom.
