Entry Panel

Enter the Online Viewing facility. Unless you have been given other site-specific instructions for entering this facility, enter the facility by typing U (User Reports option) in the OPTION field of the IOA Primary Option menu, and pressing Enter.

The User Reports entry panel is displayed. The values specified in the User Reports entry panel determine which reports are made available.

The User Reports panel is displayed in different formats, or display types.

Note: When different formats of a screen are available, the term "display type" is used to refer to each format.

This exercise discusses the following entry panel display types:

• Default display type (abbreviated D), which is a brief format with few fields
• Extended display type (abbreviated E), which is a detailed format with many fields.

Examples of both of these display types are discussed in Changing Entry Panel Display Types. The different display types are discussed in further detail in Entry Panel Fields.
