Use the Keypad

The Shop Floor Manager Work Center Console comes with a keypad that you can use with a touch screen monitor or a mouse. The keypad displays either numeric or alphanumeric characters, depending on the value required in the current field. When the display is numeric only, the keypad also functions as a Calculator.

To use the Shop Floor Manager Keypad

1. To use the keypad, press/click in the data entry field.

   • If you checked the No Keyboard option in the User Preferences window, you only need to click in the field once. If you did not check that option, you must double-click in the field.
   • If you click in a data entry field that only accepts numbers, only the numeric portion of the keypad displays. If you click in a data entry field that accepts both numbers and alpha characters, the entire keypad is displayed.

2. Input the numbers and/or letters you need to complete the field entry.

   • If you have a touch screen keypad, use your finger to press the characters.
   • If you have a mouse, click on the characters.
   • Press/click Backspace if you need an empty space in the entry.
   • Press/click Backspace to erase the last character you entered.
   • Press/click Clear to clear the entire entry.

3. Press/click OK to save the entry, else press/click Cancel. The keypad window is closed.

   You can use the keypad as a calculator when you are in a field that requires a numeric value (only the numbers display on the keypad).

1. Enter the first number in the calculation.
2. Press/click the function you want to perform.
3. Enter the next number in the calculation.
4. Enter any remaining functions and numbers.
5. Press/click to complete the calculation.
