Cue Description

Border

Normal text fields, lookups, checkboxes, and radio buttons have a blue border around them.  Required fields have a green border.

Fields Labeled with Purple Font

Fields that are labeled with purple font are "jump" fields that utilize the F4 & F5 function keys on the keyboard. These function keys enable the cursor to skip certain fields in New Patient Demographics to speed the manual entry of new patients.  F4 will move the cursor forward to the next field labeled with purple font on the screen, and F5 will move the cursor backward to the previous field labeled with purple font.

Background - White

The component with the focus has a white background and a bold blue or green border.  All other components have a grey background and a non-bold blue or green border.

Background - Yellow

Most of the data input fields are "proper-cased".  By this we mean the text entered in upper or lower case will be converted to the proper case.  Fields that will proper case have a white background.  Some fields are intentionally not proper-cased.  These have a yellow background.  An example of this may be Lookup fields in which the user may want to enter some sort of code.  Frequently these codes simply belong in the uppercase.

Background - Red

If a required field is not entered the form edits will cause the field to be displayed with a red background.

Fly-Over Highlight

The border on the component that the mouse is 'hovering' over 'lights-up' with a bold blue or green border.
