Data Entry

 

The Session Data Entry screen in P5 is composed of several dockable panels and a tool bar. By default the panels and tool bar will be visible and docked as shown in the screen shot below. Each panel can be hidden, closed, or docked to another location in the data entry screen. The tool bar can also be undocked and/or moved to the sides or top of the data entry screen. P5 will remember the location and visible state of each panel and tool bar between sessions. A hidden or closed panel can be restored to its former position from the View button on the tool bar, or by using the appropriate keyboard shortcut or digitizer command. The tool bar can be restored from a hidden state by pressing ALT-M on the keyboard.
