Using CTRL keys to help in Web Finance Office

 

Did you know that you can use shortcut keys within WFO? There are 3 shortcut keys that are used quite a bit in WFO to save you time. The following are just a few examples of how to use the CTRL key functionality.

Note: if using an Apple computer the Command key is used for this functionality.

Copy and Pasting

Whenever you need to copy and paste the same information you can use CTRL+C and CTRL+V shortcut keys together.

Select Human Resources/Employee Information Changes (Horizontal) - when you are in the horizontal screen adding information, highlight the field you want to copy and use CTRL+C keys to copy the text, using your down arrow key to move down one field you are now ready to use the CTRL+V keys to paste the same information that you copied to that field.

This enables you to search for an employee easily and award their attendance days for just one person at a time.

Another example using CTRL+F can be used in hunting for a specific dollar figure on a report. As you start typing in the specific dollar amount as it appears on the report it will follow you as you type in finding the number:

Using the CTRL keys can save you a lot of time. Try it out and you can put this information on a sticky note and attach it to your monitor for a reminder till you get used to using this functionality with WFO.
