If its always going to be the same order, you should be able to do a change script on the value of the first numeric entry field and then assign focus to the next one using the path to the component and .focus [https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Perspective+Component+Methods#PerspectiveComponentMethods-RequestingFocus](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Perspective+Component+Methods#PerspectiveComponentMethods-RequestingFocus) ---

You could also put it on the onActionPerformed component event. It seems to work like you would want it to. ---

Tip: use the question title to summarise what the question is _about_. e.g. "How to switch focus to next text field on pressing Enter?" Ask the question in the body of the post. ---

Thanks for your reply, Actually it is perspective table, I have added a render view (Numeric Entry for a column) ---

You could probably use a message handler. Each of the rendered view would need to know their row number. When the text is submitted it sends a message to all the rendered views with a payload of the next row number. Each rendered view checks if their row number matches the next row and if so set the focus to their numeric entry. ---

I have created a similar setup and tried the same and its working. Please follow the same and let me know, - Create a param named rowIndex and custom param focus to the numeric entry view. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/b/a/ba848828263c30a7ef20826cad7261efc22264ad.png) - Create a message handler in table view - On value change script of num entry value, ```auto rowIndex = self.view.params.rowIndex + 1 payload ={'rowIndex':rowIndex} system.perspective.sendMessage("update-row", payload, scope = 'page' ) ``` - Create another message handler in num entry field, - On value change script of selectedRow in table, ```auto payload ={'row':currentValue.value} system.perspective.sendMessage("focus", payload, scope = 'page' ) ``` ---
