RecTrac Field Help is “Click-able”
Date Posted:
Most RecTrac users know about the “i” icon in the upper right corner of the RecTrac Screen. Clicking that icon will cause “i” icons to appear for all the fields on the screen. These are field help icons. When you hover over them with your cursor, the field help appears.
However, field help can be frustrating in that its activation is sensitive. If you move the cursor even slightly off the icon, the field help disappears. Also, field help will sometimes contain clickable links to more information, but when you move the cursor to click on the link, the field help again disappears, taking the link along with it.
You may not know there is a way to relieve this frustration by clicking on the “i” icon itself while you are hovering over it. Doing so will cause the full on-line help screen to appear with that field definition at the top of the screen. You may then click on the embedded link without a problem.

Many of our RecTrac users may not know that it is possible to display additional family members in a grid format in Household Maintenance (instead of as a series of tabs on the right side of the screen). This can cut down screen clutter considerably, which can help a lot on a screen that is already full of information. The family member grid is controlled by the Household Profile in the Management > System Management > User/Menu/Profile Management > Profile Management screen. If you want more information about this option, contact LOGIS RecTrac support at
