To help users complete template dialogs, CPRS has made it easier to locate required fields. Three features have been added:
Note: Sites can turn off this feature using a parameter. If turned off, the required fields will continue to display with an asterisk, but the features identified above will not. These features are not currently available for Reminders.
A navigation bar assists with finding and completing “required” fields. This navigation bar will allow the user to quickly access all required fields in the template dialog. The navigation bar provides a count of all unanswered required fields and provides navigation buttons to allow the user to jump directly to the required field. In addition to the * used to identify required fields, all incomplete required fields will be highlighted within the template.
Once the required field is filled in, the counter will reduce and the highlight for the field will be removed.
Navigation bar position: The position of the required fields navigation bar can be changed to the Top, Left, Right, and Bottom of the template dialog. This can be accomplished by accessing the Right Click (Context) menu associated with the Navigation Bar. By right clicking on the navigation bar, the user is presented with the choice of Top, Left, Right, and Bottom. After selecting the position you want, the navigation bar will immediately move to the selected position.
The user also has the ability to enable/disable the highlighting within the template. By accessing the Right Click (Context) menu associated with the body of the template, the user will see an option to Highlight Required Fields without Value. When checked highlighting is enabled while when it is unchecked the highlighting is disabled.
You may also adjust all of the template required fields settings by using the Set Highlighting Preferences option.

The user also select where the navigation bar displays on the dialog: Top, Left, Right, or Bottom.
