Sticky fields are fields which retain entered information each time you refresh an Add screen by clicking the Save/New button.
Information entered into a sticky field remains the same each time a new Add is started, so you don’t have to re-enter the same information. Any information you enter into a sticky field (for instance, Publisher Name) will remain in that field after you complete an Add and select Save/New.
If you type over the information in a sticky field, your new entry replaces the highlighted text. The new information will reappear in the field when you select Save/New.
You can sell all fields to be sticky or you can specify which fields are to be sticky and which are not. For example if you are entering a series of books with the same author and publisher you could set the author and title fields to be sticky.
You can set sticky fields in the Add Books, Add Clients, and Add Wants Screens.
