Relative Position User Defined Fields

Relative position uses the current cursor position as a reference point. While you can perform the same operation with absolute position, relative position allows you to offset the field from the cursor. You can offset by rows and columns, and by positive or negative values. This allows you to specify a field above, below, before, or behind the current cursor position.

Use relative position if you can reliably predict the cursor location. One use for this method is for menu entries, such as when the cursor is located in the choice field.

Example: Row offset = 0, Column offset = -7, Length = 2
