Keyboard Shortcuts for Navigating in Dashboard and Workspaces

[Anonymous]

As an implementer for Fusion but a new user, I find navigation to be cumbersome due to the amount of mouse clicks required. Having a suite of keyboard shortcuts to navigate in the dashboard and in the workspaces would be a big help and speed things up quite a bit. Similar to Windows applications like in Word or Excel. I was surprised to learn that there really aren't any except for scripting. Please vote for this!!

Hi @Anonymous,

Any suggestions on shortcuts you'd like to see?

Curious about what workflows we should address initially.

Thanks,

@giliar.defriesperez, thanks for your reply. Being new to Fusion I do not have a full breadth of the system and what will be the most valuable keyboard shortcuts, but let me give you three examples. From the workspace home, it takes five mouse clicks to do any one of the following: Add an item in Items and BOMs, add a supplier in Suppliers or add an ECO in Change Orders. It would save so much time for example if a user could just press CTRL-ALT-I from the home screen to add an item in Items and BOMs.  Now I know that if I have a recent item for any one of these it can be cut down to three clicks but even this is somewhat cumbersome. Why is it necessary to click on anything? I would think it should be possible to navigate back and forth between menus with TAB, SHIFT-TAB and arrow keys, and possibly in combination with using ALT. I would be happy to give more examples as I gain more experience.

@Anonymous,

Thanks for the feedback. The good news is that I'll have more news to share on the item creation topic you brought up soon. I'll let you know.

@Anonymous,

We implemented a shortcut for creating new items in a target workspace from a linking picklist (check out the What's New in the documentation for an example), and we are now working on some of the scenarios you described (creating a new ECO from the revision-controlled item).

I'll keep this "Under Review" for now because we're covering some details about the implementation, stay tuned for updates.

Fusion Manage being a web application will have only limited or no support for keyboard shortcuts. 
No plans to implement this request.
