Keyboard shortcuts

In Robaws you can use keyboard shortcuts to carry out the following actions:

• selecting multiple lines
• adding and duplicating lines
• overview of items, item groups and posts
• overview of webshops
• keyboard shortcuts in the planning
• dragging an order into the dayplanning

Selecting multiple lines

The SHIFT key (Mac & Windows) and the CTRL key (Windows) work in the same way as in other programs: with shift you can select several consecutive lines, with control you can select individual lines.
This works both in the overview screens and in the modules (e.g. quotation lines, invoice lines, etc.)

Adding and duplicating lines

When you hover over a particular item line with your mouse pointer, six coloured dots appear at the front of the item line.

• If you click on them with your right mouse button, a new blank line is added below this line.
• If you click on them with your right mouse button + SHIFT key, this line is copied and added below it.

This works in all modules that contain item lines.

Overview of items, item groups and posts

With the F2 key (on Mac: FN + F2) you call up a pop-up screen in which you find the items. There are three tabs: items, posts, and item groups.
For each item group you then see the items listed.
You can call up this screen anywhere there are item lines, e.g. in the quotation, invoice, etc. It is handy for searching for items in a structured way without having to leave the module.

Use

1. search for the items or posts you want
2. tick them (take care not to click through to the item or the post)
3. click 'Copy to clipboard' at the top -> they are held in the memory for a while
4. feel free to carry on looking up and selecting items and posts, and adding them to the clipboard
5. when you are finished, you leave this screen by collapsing it
6. position yourself at the front of an item line and right-click on 'paste'
7. all items from the clipboard are added to your document (quotation, invoice, etc.)

Overview of the webshops

If you press the F3 key on your keyboard, you get an overview of the active webshops in your environment in all modules. This way you can quickly and easily consult and import items from the different webshops.

Keyboard shortcuts in the planning

Left mouse button and drag = move the planning item
Shift + left mouse button + drag to the right = duplicate the planning item
Shift + left mouse button + drag downwards = add another employee / piece of equipment / etc. to the same planning item

Dragging an order into the dayplanning

If you work with two screens, you can schedule an order in the dayplanning directly from the order overview. Open Robaws on your second screen on the dayplanning, and then drag an order from the order overview onto that screen. That way you drop the order straight onto the dayplanning without any intermediate steps.
