There are several methods of navigating between the fields on the active page.
The most common is to use the Tab key. Starting at the top left of the page will allow you to tab through the editable fields on the page so that you end up in the lower right of the page. While tabbing the program will skip most calculated fields and will usually stop only on the entry fields. While Tab key moves forward in the tab sequence, the Tab key will move backwards in the tab sequence when the Shift key is also pressed.
The mouse can be used to activate any field on the page by clicking on that field.
Note: To start editing a newly opened case you must first activate the Form Page Editor pane. This can be done by clicking on a field with the mouse, or by pressing the F6 key once. Once activated the Tab key can be used to navigate between the fields.
The Enter key has the same effect as the Tab key. The exception is when you are editing a multiple line text field. Since this field uses the Enter key to insert line breaks it can not be used to move to the next field.
When the active field is in a grid row there are a new set of keys to navigate with. Since a grid is a two dimensional array we allow the arrow keys to be used to navigate in any of the four directions when the Control key is held down. So to move up one row press the Control key and the Up Arrow key. To move left one column in this row press the Control key and the Left Arrow key.

You can also navigate the fields of the form according to the data flow of the form. Use the Drill Down button when on a summary field that gets its value from an attached details schedule. It will open the details schedule and activate the schedule’s result field. If the details schedule is not yet attached then it will be attached before it is opened. Use the Drill Down button again to go to the entry fields on that schedule. Use the Drill Up button to go up from the details schedule to the summary field where its resulting value is carried.
