Make entry stop when there's an error in that field instead of going to the next field and having to back up.

If cursor would stop in the field you've made an error in (invalid job, cost code, equip. #, GL, etc) and not automatically go to the next field, it would be a great help. Time consuming to stop and have to back up instead of it just staying in that field.

  It would make more sense if the system by default stayed in the field that has the error.

  So this has to be done to every field?  This can't be applied globally by user or company?

  Hi Guest,

   

  This is possible by editing the Field Properties for the field you'd like this to apply to. Go to:

  Field Properties (hit F3 when on the field you'd like to apply the change to) -> System Overrides -> Validation Level Dropdown -> Select "3-Show error, stay on input"

   

  Best regards,

  Jonathan
