In the screen or on the screen? [closed]
I'd like to know what is the correct version:
Let's say we have some IT system (like SAP) and there is a search screen. If I am asking someone to perform an action in the system, should I ask them to do something in the screen or on the screen?
Enter the information/data in the search screen. OR Enter the information/date on the search screen?
Solution 1:
Google Ngram Viewer reports: Ngrams not found: "in the screen" and some minimal results for "on the screen".
In my experience (including years as a database administrator), data is entered in (or into) a text-entry field, which is displayed on the screen.
