  • On many pages or windows, using Ctrl+S saves the information without closing the page or window.
  • Use Ctrl+Enter to add service orders on the Service Orders page.
  • If any of the above shortcuts do not work, you may need to press the function key on your keyboard in addition to the hotkey combination depending on your keyboard settings. For example, if the hotkey is Ctrl+Shift+F6, you may need to press Ctrl+Shift+fn+F6.

    Thanks Carries, I have passed this onto my users.  I have been trying them out but there is one shortcut which looks interesting which I can't get to work - perhaps you can explain the window and key position for booking shortcut SHIFT+F8

    Thanks

    Theresa,

    I've updated the article to include this information about the SHIFT-F8 shortcut: Must first highlight a date/time for any space, then hit SHIFT-F8 - a dialog box will display in the upper right-hand corner.

    Should CTRL-Q be added to this list? (new 30.96 Quick Search feature) 

    FYI, CTRL-Q doesn't work on a Mac because that is the hotkey to quit an application.  Is there a list of hotkeys for USI for Mac ?

    Hi Tim,

    The quick search feature is still a work-in-progress feature. You can use it in released versions, but it's not fully fleshed out at this point.

    As for the shortcut issue, I believe Cmd-Q is the shortcut for quitting an application. Ctrl-Q should work on a Mac with no issue. As far as I know, the shortcuts listed should work on Mac, but if you find any that don't, please let us know.

     

    Thanks,

    John

    Hi Rachel,

    You may use the "custom order item" fields on event/functions to add items quickly. Here is an article that may help further - https://supportcenter.ungerboeck.com/hc/en-us/articles/206238777. Please reach out if you need any further assistance on this. Hope this helps.

    Enhancement request for Date and Time Field Hotkeys:  enable "shift" as a modifier to all forward shortcuts to make them into backward shortcuts (e.g. w = forward one week; shift+w = backward on week... imagine being able to click into a start date field and hitting "t, shift+b, shift+w, tab, t, w,w" to get a span of three weeks before today, two weeks after).

    Hi all,

    we would love to use "Ctrl + F8" especially for booking service order items but we can't get it to work. It is not very convenient, to click the save button every time before searching for the next item (other than scrolling up and down).

    Has anybody experienced the same issue or even resolved it? Would very much appreciate some ideas, as I have run out...

    We are Windows users with German keyboards and tried firefox and google chrome; just in case browser and keyboard layout may play a role in that.

    Cheers
