Narrative:

We were preparing the cockpit for departure and were given a form for the refueling door cycling procedure. I remember reading about this and I remember that a message must be sent. I also remember there was some verbiage that needed to be written in the text field.I could not remember exactly what needed to be written. I found the reference and read through it quickly and I missed the area that had the required verbiage. Being close to departure time and not able to locate the exact verbiage I entered the fuel on board figure. As a suggestion move the verbiage into a message. Also it would be very helpful if the reminder about the entry could include the verbiage on the form given to the cockpit crew from the fueler. The procedure and information that we need is readily available on this form.this was my first trip back flying in over 5 months and I was not as comfortable as I normally would be if I was flying a regular basis. I will make sure that this does not happen again in the future.
