Updating fields

A field is a single topic of information in a record. Required fields (noted by a shaded color) must be completed for a record to be valid.

Right-click in a field within a grid to update selected rows. Updating fields in Infor EAM follows the standard Windows controls for selecting rows:

  • CTRL+CLICK
    Individually selects and clears rows.
  • SHIFT+CLICK
    Selects all rows between the clicked row and the most recently selected row. Shift+Click also clears all rows that do not meet the criteria above.

The header at the top of the form will not update for subsequent selections; it will always show the first record selected. Therefore, if the List View page has multiple records selected, the system remains on the record displayed in the header. The multiple selection option is lost when you leave the page.

If you click off the record that is currently being displayed in the header, the system displays the top-most selected record in the header.

Note: The update fields feature is available only on the following List View pages: Work Orders, Parts, Equipment, Requisitions, Purchase Orders, and User ID.
  1. Select the records to update.
  2. Right-click on a selected record, and then select Update Field.
  3. Specify this information:
