About the window elements

In Visma.net ERP, you use the window elements to enter data or settings, which the system stores in the database or uses as criteria to select what is displayed in the window.

Visma.net ERP supports the following types of window elements:

  • Date field:
    You use a date field to type a date.
  • Calendar:
    You use this dialog box to select a date in a calendar.
    For more information, see: About the calendar dialog box.
  • Lookup field:
    You use this field to select a value from a list of predefined values or from another information table from the database.
    For more information, see: About lookup fields
  • Currency field:
    A currency field is a type of lookup field that provides additional controls for currency manipulation.
    For more information, see: About currency fields.
  • Check box:
    You select or clear a check box to turn on or turn off an option.

If a field is marked with asterisk (*), you must fill it in.

When you enter data in the Visma.net ERP windows, you may notice that some elements are unavailable.

Some of these unavailable elements are info fields: read-only fields that contain system-generated values, such as document statuses and total amounts.
Other unavailable elements can be used only if a specific option is selected in another element on this window or on another window.
