❑The Quick Data Entry option is on the Backstage Menu System:
•To access the Quick Data Entry Menu, from the Backstage Menu System Select the Maintenance Menu then Select the Quick Data Entry option
❑The Quick Data Entry option offers two sub-menu selections:
1.Manage Templates - Establishes (using the Subscriber Quick Data Entry Templates Form) the mandatory items which must be included in a Subscriber record that is created using the Subscriber Quick Data Entry Form.
✓There are many occasions when a User may be called upon to create one or many Accounts for a specific purpose, and/or for a specific Company Chain, Dealer, or Technician.
▪Often, what's really needed is a simple record initialization - the creation of a Subscriber record with minimal information, to just get it in the system - knowing that another User will return later to "dot all the i's and cross all the t's", as needed to fully "fill-in" the other information.
▪To speed this simple record initialization data entry process, the Subscriber Quick Data Entry Templates Form allows you to specify which fields must be populated initially when using the Subscriber Quick Data Entry Form for rapidly entering one or more Accounts, and so by default, identifying which information can be entered later.
✓Using a Subscriber Quick Data Entry Template eliminates the need to go to several screens to enter a Subscriber record (although someone will need to do this later to more fully populate the available fields within the Subscriber record).
