How do I change the order of the indexing fields?

You can reorder the fields in the data entry area when you use Form Entry mode. When you reorder fields, it can speed up indexing because you can make the order of the fields match the order of information in the document.

For other batches in the same project, the fields stay in the order you set until you change them again.

Note: You can reorder fields only in Form Entry.

Steps

1. To reorder fields in Form Entry Mode:
   
   1. Hover the mouse pointer over the name of the field you want to move. The cursor changes to a cross with arrow tips. Note: This action may not be possible from an iPad or some other mobile device.
   2. Click and drag the field to the new position.
   3. Release the mouse button.
2. To reset fields to their original position:
   
   1. In the blue bar at the top of the entry form, click [Blue square with 3 vertical white dots].
   2. Click Reset Field Order.
