With many of us seeing a change in our workspace and the systems we are working on this month, remember that there are built-in shortcuts to get you where you want to go in Student Manager. If you are not familiar with keyboard shortcuts, they are a combination of keys that do a certain function for you, instead of you having to navigate menus for that function.
There are some general shortcuts that work in almost every program, as well as Student Manager:
Tab
= Move FORWARD through fields
Shift+Tab
= Move BACKWARD through fields
Ctrl+X
= Cut
Ctrl+C
= Copy
Ctrl+V
= Paste
Ctrl+P
= Print
Alt+Tab = (for Windows users) will help you switch between open programs
In addition to standard keyboard shortcuts,
Student Manager has a variety of them to get you around the system quickly. Here are some that will work on the NAME RECORD:
Alt+0 (Zero) = Manually edit the City and State
Alt+1 = If on the Demographics 2 tab, switches back to Demographics 1 tab
Alt+2 = If on the Demographics 1 tab, switches to Demographics 2 tab
Alt+3 = Copies name, title, firm, address, day phone, and email address (in block format) from the open Name record to the Clipboard (for recalling into a document, e.g. letter, email, etc.)
Alt+F9 = Shows payment history of individual (can also be ran from Registration screen)
Alt+W =
clones current Name record (Edit > Clone Name)
Alt+V = pastes data from cloned record into open Name record (Edit > Paste Name)
Alt+Y = create an Instructor record from the open Name record
Shift+F5 = Opens Blacklist
Shift+Alt+P = ACEweb Users Only: blanks the Password field
Here are some that will work when you are at the Main Menu
Alt+F
= Activates File Menu
Alt+E
= Activates Edit Menu
Alt+M
= Activates Module Menu
Alt+R
= Activates Reports Menu
Alt+T
