To use a description from a description file
without codes, simply start typing in any
Description field. Once you start typing a
description, a dropdown list should appear
displaying all of the descriptions that are in the
description file in alphabetical order. If a list
does not appear, confirm the Show Description
List Automatically checkbox is marked in the
Description Settings screen.
A quick way to access the Description Settings screen is by using
the power button associated with every Description field and
selecting Description Settings… You can also manually show the
description list if it does not open automatically by selecting Show
Description List from the power button options. The Edit Descrition
List…option opens the Edit Description List screen where you can
modify the list and optionally save it to a file as described in the
Reference manual under the Miscellaneous Screens section.
If the first letter(s) that you typed match the first letters of a
description in the description file, that description will automatically
be selected in the dropdown list. Once the desired description is
selected, press [Enter] or double-tap the description on the screen.
You can also use the arrow keys to scroll through the dropdown list to
make an alternate selection.
Normally the selected description replaces any text entered in the
Description field, but you can optionally append the selected
description to the text entered by adding a ‘+’ symbol after the
entered text. For example, if you entered NW+ in a description field
and then selected Property Corner from the description list, the
resulting description would be NW Property Corner.
