Sage HRMS is designed to be used with a mouse pointing device. By using the mouse, it is easier to point to and select fields and buttons on the page. However, in some situations, you might find it easier to use your keyboard. Sage HRMS adheres to the Microsoft Windows standard for mouse-equivalent keystrokes.
Instead of using the mouse, you can use the keyboard to access and select items from the main menu. For instance, instead of clicking on Analysis, you can hold down Alt and press L. To access Processes, hold down Alt and press R. The underlined letter in each menu category indicates the letter to press to select the menu category.
| Press This | To Select this Menu Item |
|---|---|
| Alt + F | File |
| Alt + E | Edit |
| Alt + I | Actions |
| Alt + R | Processes |
| Alt + L | Analysis |
| Alt + R | Reports |
| Alt + U | Rules |
| Alt + D | Details |
| Alt + Q | Query |
| Alt + H | Help |
After you have selected a main menu item, you can use the keyboard to do one of the following:
Note: Certain hot keys may change when you access certain pages in Sage HRMS. If there is more than one item with the same hot key, you can press the hot key again to toggle between them. Press ↓ to access the options for the selected menu item.
Use the Tab key to move from one field to another within a page or dialog box. For example, as you complete the Add New Hire task, the Add New Employee page enables you to enter a first, middle, and last name for the new employee. After you enter the first name, press Tab to move to the middle name field. You can also press and hold down Shift and press Tab to move up or backwards one field.
This feature is particularly useful when you are working on a page which contains many fields. You can keep your hands on the keyboard while you navigate around the fields in the page using the Tab key.
You can use the standard Windows edit features to cut, copy, paste selected text.
