Selecting values for key fields

When you look up data on application forms, you often need to select values for key fields. If you know the exact value for the key field, you can type the value. When you do not know the exact value, you can select the value from a list. If a Select form appears on the form, you can view additional detail about the available values to ensure that you select the correct one.
