Keyboard shortcuts

Open any screen, report or action with two keys. Alt+1 … Alt+9 are ready for everyone, the administrator changes the company shortcuts, and each user adds personal shortcuts for what they use most.

Common workflows

  1. 1

    Your own shortcuts

    "My account" → "My shortcuts" → "+ Shortcut": click the combination box, press the keys (Alt+G, say), choose "Screen or report" or "Action" and the target, then "Save". It works at once, for you alone.

  2. 2

    Company shortcuts (administrator)

    Settings → "Keyboard shortcuts": change the built-in ones or add to them, for all users. "Restore defaults" brings them back as shipped.

  3. 3

    Change a company shortcut for yourself

    The same combination in "My shortcuts" replaces the company one for you alone, and "Disable a company shortcut" turns it off for you.

Messages you may see — and what to do

  • "Reserved by the program"

    Ctrl+K, F1, the point-of-sale F keys, copy, paste and print cannot be used — pick another combination.

  • "A letter or digit needs Ctrl or Alt with it"

    A letter alone types into fields, so it cannot be a shortcut.

  • "Duplicated in the list"

    Each combination has one target. A shortcut shows beside its screen in the search (Ctrl+K).
