Screen Fields (definition)

Screen fields are the fields that Interaction Host Recorder can read when a screen is opened. They are defined by the person who programmed the screens, and Interaction Host Recorder lists them in the Host Screen Fields window.

Screen fields can be protected or unprotected:

• Protected screen fields
  These are read-only fields in which data is displayed. If you create a user defined field from a protected field, a handler can only read the data. You cannot change the value in a protected screen field. Think of protected fields as fields that can be read but not changed.

• Unprotected screen fields
  These are read/write fields into which data can be written. If you create a user defined field from an unprotected screen field, a handler can write data to the screen. An example of an unprotected field is a Choice where you type a menu entry to change screens.

See Host Screen Fields window for more information on screen fields.
