Fields that you type in are not case sensitive and can be entered in either upper or lower case or a mix of upper and lower case. For example, name fields are not case sensitive.
Fields that have a drop-down list to choose from are case sensitive and depend on how they have been set up in the database lookup tables. We recommend that you always select these fields from the drop-down list rather than typing them in to avoid issues of case sensitivity.
