Users can navigate and have quick access to many functions through keyboard shortcuts, which primarily includes the use of the Alt and Ctrl keys. The Alt and Ctrl keys are used in conjunction with other keys to evoke certain functionality or navigate within the application.
Hotkeys
Hotkeys allow you to jump to a particular place on the screen or access functionality behind a menu or button. Use the Alt key to view available hotkeys.
Hotkeys are available in all areas of MoversSuite and display as an underlined letter on a menu or button, such as the “F” in the Find button in Order Information:
They also appear as a highlighted letter, such as what is seen in the Apply field in Payment Application:
Use the Alt key to make the hotkeys appear and disappear. Hotkeys allow you to jump to a particular place or access functionality within MoversSuite. Press Alt to display the hotkeys for each option. The hotkey is noted by the letter underlined.
