The following tips describe how to navigate and enter dates in the Final Mile Track user interface.
Drop-down lists are used on many of the Final Mile Track pages. To make a selection from the list, you can type the first character and then press Enter to make your selection. For example, in the drop-down list shown, type "A" and the combo box will display "Administration Contact." Likewise, if you type "S," "Service Contact" displays. If you type "S" again, "Service Notification" displays.
For all date fields in Final Mile Track, you can enter partial date values, and the remaining part of the date is populated for you. The available options for entering dates are:
You can continue to enter the entire date (e.g., 02/20/2010 or 02202010), or you can use the Calendar icon to select a date.
You can type in just the day (e.g., 02), and the month and current year will populate.
You can type in the month and day (0203), and the current year will populate.
Note: The reformatted date does not appear in the Date field when you press Tab or move to another field. The date is reformatted when the request is submitted (e.g., save the item, submit a report request, etc.).
