Edit Form Help Functions

Edit forms allow you to actively access help screens. To access the help screen,
press

at

any edit form. The SID places the help screen on the LCD

display. The SID retains any information you may have entered on the edit form
and places the edit form with your information back on the display when you exit
the help screen. You do not lose any information. Most help screens appear as
shown in Figure 2-7., although certain edit forms add or delete options.

Figure 2-7.

Help Screen Options Accessed From an Edit Form

The following list shows you each available option and explains the action of
each option shown on the help screen.

Action Forms

Action Forms provide you with a

window or a view into the integration application.

With action forms, you can monitor the application activity, review event logs, or
check statistical information. Figure 2-8. shows a sample action form, the
Statistics View form.

each transaction processed by the SID. When you finish observing an action
form, you can press
