In the menu selection EDIT you will find an entry marked Auto Fill In. This is checked when the feature is enabled and not when it is not. The purpose is to speed the entry of data when much of it is the same from badge to badge.
Auto Fill In comes into effect when you are adding new badge information. If it is not active, then the entry dialog for a new badge will be empty (except that any preset fields will be filled in with the first entry and numeric fields with zero).
When Auto Fill In is active, the dialog will be filled in with the data of the currently displayed badge (if there is one). You can then simply change the fields which are not correct for this badge. The fields which this feature applies to can be set at Supervisor level and above. For more information on how to do this, check Setting Auto Fill In and Lock Fields in the Design chapter.
For example, let us say you have a database with a “Department” field and you are entering all 25 people from “Engineering”. Once you have completely entered the first, each subsequent badge will already have the department field correctly entered, when the Auto Fill In is active. You can simply use the Tab or Enter key to move to the fields which require changing and enter those alone.
If the Auto Fill In is active and you have a situation where all of the data is wrong, you can click on the Clear button to erase all field data, then enter the correct data in each field. You can, of course, use the Clear button any time you wish to clear all the fields.
