Click
(ENTER).
NOTE: Once you click the enter button or press “enter” on your keyboard, the system
checks to ensure that you have entered all the data that is required to
proceed.
If you haven’t, it will ask you to enter valid data into each field, ONE
BY ONE.
After entering data into the field, you must PRESS ENTER AGAIN to
move onto the next field.
Once you have filled in all the required information,
the rest of the fields in the screen will unlock and you can edit them as you
could before you initially clicked enter.
In this case, the other fields may never
have locked but it is important to understand this concept for later exercises.
Notice that the system shows an error message which, in this case, simply tells you exactly
what you need to enter next.
