Description: Scan barcodes on backs of ID cards of people passing
through checkpoint or barcodes placed at checkpoints for scanning while doing rounds, log anything
suspicious in addition to date time at checkpoint. Keeps rolling description of Task. Logs DateTime
that Record was scanned or input. Displays a description if found, including any special instructions.
Provides a field to log any notes.
Note: F8 will start a new task, as will Func-Right, Func-Down (last record, next record)
When not starting a new task, the user will only be asked for entry in the Record and Notes fields.
Record could be anything from barcodes posted at each walkthough checkpoint scanned in as the guard reaches the checkpoint,
to the recording the barcodes on the back of the id of each person passing the front gate, or the license plate of each vehicle
in the parking lot.

Field ACTField
Details: Check If not blank, autoenter This will make it so if we are in a current task, ACTField will not be asked for again, unless the up arrow is hit.
Details: Check Use result as next default value This will cause ACTField to persist between screen loads
Details: Write to capture Action
Validation: Uncheck unmodified default is invalid, unmodified should be valid
Field RECIDField
Details: Write to capture RecordID
Input: Charcter Case: Force Uppercase, in case we end up matching license plates or somesuch after they were manually entered in.
Validation: Match value in lookup file Lookup , field RecordID
