Custom Screens

There are two types of Custom Screens that you can create

1.  Custom Data Screens Enable the User to create Custom Screens that provide the following options

Display Types: The Screen itself can be Inquiry only, Data Entry only or a combined Inquiry/Data Entry

Data Entry Styles: You have the option to use a Computer Keyboard, Graphical Keyboard, Touch Screen, or Barcode Scanner.  All four can be utilised in the same Custom Data Screen.

Data Options: This can include Open format entry, validated against data within the Custom Data Script, or validated against Ostendo data.

Data Storage Options.  The data being entered can be held in temporary storage for ‘Batch Posting’ into Ostendo or posted immediately - a single record at a time.  If the data is held in temporary storage it can be held in non-Ostendo files and subsequently recalled into the data screen.

This style of screen requires the use of Ostendo's Graphical generator. 

2.  Data Entry Screens where you can define what data is to be collected and create a multi-line Data entry form into which the data is entered.  The resultant records can be actioned as required

You can get more information on creating these types of screen in the Training Guide found under Help on Ostendo's top toolbar
