Using the drop down menu widget
Posted: Mon Nov 30, 2015 1:38 pm
Our main Order Entry scanboard used F8 function to cycle thru 6 different views of the orders:
1. Active orders (default version)
2. POD's
3. Billed Orders
4. Posted Orders
5. Quotes
6. Unaccepted Orders.
The problem was that if you're on Billed Orders and you want to go back to Active Orders, you have to press F8 four or five times to get back to Active Orders. We have now assigned a separate function key for each of the above views. Naturally, six function key buttons takes up more real estate than one button. For the time being, we have arranged the 6 buttons at the top to give the screen the appearance of a tab panel. But we were wondering if we could use something like the drop-down menu midget to execute the function keys. Each menu option would really execute a "pressKey("Fx");" instead of the menu/option logic.
Thanx in advance for any help.
