I’m a fan of shortcut keys because they allow you to navigate in Dynamics SL without ever using the mouse. For me, this is a productivity enhancer. If you don’t know the available shortcut keys for Dynamics SL, below is a list.
These shortcuts work in Dynamics SL (and most Microsoft applications):
|
Ctrl N |
New (allows you to start a new document) |
|
Ctrl A |
Highlights all connected fields (great to use before Ctrl C) |
|
Ctrl S |
Save |
|
Ctrl D |
Delete |
|
Ctrl F |
Finish (performs Save & new all at once) |
|
Ctrl C |
Copy (this works well from Project Net Profit into Excel) |
|
Ctrl V |
Paste (don’t rekey info from word or excel) |
|
Ctrl Home |
First (takes you to the first record in that field) |
|
Ctrl End |
Last (takes you to the last record in that field) |
|
Ctrl Z |
Undo paste |
|
PgDn |
Moves you record by record to most recently created |
|
PgUp |
Moves you record by record to oldest document |
