----------------

**Data Entry**
    Data Entry boxes are standardised throughout System Optimiser, and look like this:
    
    .. image:: ../_images/dataentry.JPG
        :alt: Data Entry Box.
        :width: 140

    Clicking the mouse inside the box and scrolling will increase or decrease the value within.
    On fields with selectable units, clicking the 'Units' selector on the right-hand side of the Data Entry box will display any applicable units which can be used for entering data.
    This will not change any units globally, as this must be done through the :ref:`Application Settings<units>`. Fields with a fixed unit (such as dB) show a static unit label instead.

**Tick & Cross**
    Clicking a green 'tick' is used to confirm an action.
    Clicking a red 'Cross' is used to discard any changes made, or cancel an action.
    In any dialog, **Ctrl+Enter** confirms and **Escape** cancels, from the keyboard.

**Crosshairs**
    Green 'Crosshairs' are used for positioning objects, such as :ref:`Microphones<mics>`. First, click the 'Crosshairs' for the object you wish to place, then click again in the :ref:`3D View<3dview>` to place the object.
