The Terminal Parameter Group Detail tab on the Terminal Parameter Group form is used to define how certain data may be entered on terminals belonging to specific Terminal Parameter Groups.
When an event is configured to trigger an event prompt and the event/prompt name combination is listed in the Terminal Parameter Group Detail, data may be submitted only via the input device listed in the Input Device field. The system includes default values for each of the default Terminal Parameter Group records.
Note: If no input device is listed, data entry restrictions do not apply.
