Updating fields

Updating fields in Infor HMS follows the standard Windows controls for selecting rows:

  • CTRL+ click: Individually selects and clears rows.
  • SHIFT+ click: Selects all rows between two selected rows.

The header at the top of a page does not update for subsequent selections; it always shows the first record selected. Therefore, if the List View page has multiple records selected, the system remains on the record displayed in the header. The multiple selection is lost when you leave the page. If you click off the record that is currently being displayed in the header, the system displays the top-most selected record in the header.

To update fields:

  1. Right-click the record or multiple records that you have selected to update.
  2. Select Update Field.
  3. Specify this information:
