Correct whole fields

If there are multiple single character corrections within a field, it may be more efficient to re-type the whole field rather than type multiple characters individually. In this mode, you can edit the entire contents of the Current Field text field. When a field that is configured for whole field correction moves to the Current Field, the entire field contents are selected so you can quickly type the field contents.

A field can be put into whole field correction mode automatically when:

  • Fields with this name are configured to always be displayed in whole field correction mode.

  • The number of uncertain characters exceeds the pre-configured threshold.

  • The field fails a validation rule.

You can manually correct a whole field by clicking on the Correct Whole Field Correct Whole Field icon icon in the toolbar or by using a keyboard shortcut.

  1. Re-type the data in the Current Field or use the Up Arrow, Down Arrow, Delete, and Insert keys to modify part of the field data.
  2. Press Enter.
