Input forms

An input form is a screen that provides one or more fields
for you to enter data or select an option. It is another name
for a dialog box.

If a field allows you to enter data of your choice, you
can select it, add your data, and tap

. (There

is no need to tap

first.)

If a field allows you to choose an item from a menu,
you can tap on it (the field or the label for the field),
tap on it again to display the options, and tap on the
item you want. (You can also choose an item from an
open list by pressing the cursor keys and pressing

E

when the option you want is highlighted.)

If a field is a toggle field—one that is either selected
or not selected—tap on it to select the field and tap
on it again to select the alternate option.
