After you have developed all of the screens necessary for an application, you
need to decide how to link them. It is very helpful to create a flowchart of
the screens to use as a map before you begin to define the links.
The [PREV] and [NEXT] keys of the DTAM Plus or DTAM Micro use the
linking information to move between screens. Not all links need to have a
“next” and “previous” screen. A screen link may create a two-way or
one-way relationship.
Two-way links utilize a Link function:
Screen #20
Screen #30
[NEXT] selected [PREV] selected
One-way links only utilize a Goto function:
Screen #20
Screen #30
[NEXT] selected
