Function Keys and Shortcuts

Food Connex Cloud offers a number of Function Key Shortcuts to speed data entry.  On a traditional keyboard these keys are located at the top and are numbered F1 through F12.

 

F1 Key - Onscreen Help

The F1 key toggles the onscreen help option between show help messages in a bubble, dock help messages at the bottom of the screen, and hide help messages completely.

 

F5 Key - Lookup

The F5 key is used to list or lookup file contents relevant to a particular field.  For example, if the cursor is positioned at the Salesman field of the Order Entry Heading screen, and you press F5, the program will display a list of the salespersons contained in the salesperson file.  If you press F5 when the cursor is positioned at the Tax Code field of that same screen, the program will list the tax codes that are defined in the Tax Code file.

The F6 Key invokes the Price Look Up window to allow for a quick search of items, to view pricing and stock information.
