Summary

0000457: Review focused fields at window load

Description

Since 2.40 it is possible to assign a field to get focus at window load. But is not clear at all why some fields were assigned. As example, on Business Partner window, focus is on Name field, but if I want to create a new Business Parnter, I need to go back to Search Key, since is the first mandatory.

Remember that most users always fill forms top to down and left to right (if they use a "left to right" language)

Proposed Solution

Change current default settings so first mandatory field get focus on load. In case there are no mandatory, go to the first editable field. If no editable field, focus should remain on Tab.

Notes
(0000366) pjuvara (reporter) 2008-05-27 21:56	Is this a systematic problem or an isolated one? How many screens have the wrong initial focus? The analysis you describe has already been done for 2.40 by PMA and reviewed by PSA so I would hope this applies only to a few screens and does not require a full rework. In any case I would treat this as a bug since the intention in 2.40 is to have the most reasonable field as initial focus.

(0000367) plujan (manager) 2008-05-27 22:43	Ok, I will report a bug for Business Partner and an extra bug for any other window with the same behavoir.

(0000368) plujan (manager) 2008-05-27 22:44	individual bugs will be opened.

(0000384) psarobe (manager) 2008-05-29 12:32	The decision of not selecting the search key as first focus field is because although this field is mandatory not too many people fill it. If you keep it blank the application automatically fills it. If you see the online help says: "A search key allows you a fast method of finding a particular record. If you leave the search key empty, the system automatically creates a numeric number. The document sequence used for this fallback number is defined in the "Maintain Sequence" window with the name "DocumentNo_TableName", where TableName is the actual name of the table (e.g. C_Order)." It seems that in 2.3x or above doesn't work
