Manual Datafox PZE-MasterIV Basic
In order to finish the setup you have to create and configure a third input chain. You have learned now,
how to create input chains with input chain fields and how to configure them, so that the user does not
need to carry out any manual inputs. At next you want to create a more complicated booking record.
You want to collect the time, a staff member is absent for a short business trip. Therefore you have to
differ, whether a staff member comes or leaves. Additionally you want to collect the reason for the short
business trip. The user has to enter this information directly on the terminal. In order to create the
complete process as simple as possible, all necessary information are provided in a list. That way only the
right information has to be selected from a list and to be confirmed via ENTER within one booking process.
At first you paste a submenu under (F3): Short
business trip. The display text can be defined
freely. In our example you enter Exit/Entry for
line 3 and With reason. . . for line 4.
