Data entry example

This is an example of a data entry scenario. The user starts a recursive script (Start Entry) that calls the Do Entry sub-script and then calls itself. The Do Entry script lets the user enter data in a record, and then calls itself to let the user enter data in more records.

Note  You can add a button to the data entry screen to perform a script that prints a report.

Start Entry example

In the following example, the first Perform step calls the script Do Entry. The second Perform step calls itself.

Perform Script ["Do Entry"]
Perform Script ["Start Entry"]

Do Entry example

In this example, the first step creates a record. The next step pauses the script to let the user enter data and resumes the script when the user clicks Continue. The final Perform step calls itself to let the user enter data in the next record.

New Record/Request
Pause/Resume Script [Indefinitely]
Perform Script ["Do Entry"]
