  • Input field

  • dropdown list box

  • Checkbox

  • Toggle button

Completing Data Entry

For your application, it is important that your changes to the data are checked at certain times to ensure that certain rules were followed, such as data format, fixed values and so on.

    • Check

    • with quick info Open Settings Dialog Box or Close Settings Dialog Box

  • If you choose another view

  • If you sort the list by choosing one of the column headers

Furthermore, your application can set other times at which a check can be triggered.
