Horizon interface update (October 2020)

The Yellow Exclamation Point replaced with combo-boxes

We've removed the exclamation point symbol  exclamation and corresponding pop-up window from the Work order and Report publishing screens. This button has served Horizon well for many years, but  it is time to replace it. Example may be found below (Fig. 1)

It is replaced with a new tool called combo-boxes. Click inside the boxes to see the list. (Fig 2).

NEW_EXAMPLE_2More flexibility!
This new feature allows you to type your own text into boxes. They are not just dropdown lists anymore. You can enter whatever you want on the fly.

It also has auto-complete so it will recognize any list item as you start to type. For example, if you have a list of 40 towns that you work in, you can just type in the first few letters and it does the rest. Faster than scrolling through long lists!

Note: You can also modify one of the options after it has been selected. (Fig. 3)

Note: If you want to see all options available in the list again, delete the text in the box.

The drop down will show all available options when you place your cursor into the input text box.
