## General features of the user interface

• General outlook of data forms: directly underneath the toolbar, the selected hospital code is displayed.

• You have to enter most categorical variables through drop-down lists (starting with blank line), so that you can enter only a predefined value from the list.

• Tabbing: keyboard tabbing first follows the order of input fields, after which focus will be put on toolbar.

• You can access fields with keyboard shortcuts made up of the Alt key and the underlined letter on the field label. For example, if you press Alt+P in the Hospital form, the focus moves to the PPS Protocol field.

Once the focus is on the field, enter the first letter of the required value, for example, S for Standard protocol, alternatively, you can select the value from the drop-down list.

• The default buttons in the warning messages—for example, Yes and No buttons—are displayed in the language of the installed Windows operating system.
