ACCTivate! tips & tricks
Shortcut Buttons
Save time and effort by using keyboard shortcuts
Do you know that ACCTivate! has a whole host of built-in shortcut buttons (sometimes called hot-keys) that are designed to save you time and effort when doing repetitive tasks in the system?
These shortcut keys are designed to allow users to enter and retrieve information from the system with the least amount of effort. Instead of only using the mouse
to click icons, users can save time by using a combination of the mouse and shortcut keys.
Shortcut Key Examples
Some of these shortcuts include pressing Ctrl-E to edit most records and Ctrl -S to save them once they're open. You can also type Ctrl -N to add a whole new record (like a new sales order) or F5 to refresh the screen if it's dynamically generated.
Use the F4 key to open any lookup window
One of the most handy shortcut buttons that exists in the entire ACCTivate! system is the ability to open just about any lookup window in the system by pressing F4.
For example, you can use this shortcut to open lookup windows in the Customer Information window, Sales Order window, Purchase Order window, Product Information window and more.
A full list of the shortcut keys is available in the help files
A complete list of the shortcut keys exist in the help files for ACCTivate! 5.1 and higher versions. To access this list, press F1 (another shortcut button) when in ACCTivate! and search for "Shortcut Buttons" in the search field.
