Remember that you can select additional several fields to move in one go by holding Shift with the left mouse buttonby clicking the first field then Shift+clicking the last field that you want.
  6. Update the tab order of fields on the edit form:.
    1. Click into the  field Name - and make sure you select the inner field rather than the surrounding area. Set:
        Set the
        • Tab Index
        of the field to 1Similarly, set
        • : 1
        • the order of all the fields so you are able to tab through all attributes sequentially.
      • Go into App Mode.
      • Click on the first field in the edit form, then try tabbing through the form. Each tab- this should follow the tab press should move to the next field in the order you have set in your configuration.
        If this doesn't work, go back into Design Mode and make sure that you have set the order on the field objects (the grey boxes) rather than the outer areas of the fields.

Tip

In this case, adding new fields to the app was application is straightforward. We are relying on a setting in the actions called Copy by Name. This is on by default for standard actions, but we will look at this in more detail when we come to add custom actions for Update and Insert actions.
