All Fields which were Checked in the General and Custom Fields tabs on the selected Subscriber Quick Data Entry Template will be displayed as mandatory fields in this Subscriber Quick Data Entry Form.

If no CSID was required and therefore no Communicator Format, CSID Zones, or People to Call were required, an abbreviated Subscriber Quick Data Entry Form will be displayed.

Any Fields that have predefined options set up within the Maintenance Menu (e.g., Salesman, Town Code, Dealer, Communicator Format, etc.) will have a Drop-Down Selection List available from which a valid Choice may be made.

Subscriber Quick Data Entry Form - No CSID data required

 

Any Fields that have predefined data (based on the Quick Data Entry Template selected) will have that data inserted automatically.

This predefined data may be modified, if appropriate.

 

If a CSID and Communicator Format is required: Contacts (People To Call) and CSIDZones (CSID Zones) may also be requested, and so a more complex Subscriber Quick Data Entry Form will be displayed.
