Epicor Eagle™ Order Entry and POS for Windows do not require you to use a mouse. We have written online help with keyboard procedures in mind. Only setup instructions were written with mouse procedures.

You can use the keyboard to easily enter information, open menus, and make selections from menus.

Menus

To open a menu, press alt and the underlined letter in the menu name.

For example, to open the File menu, you would press alt+f.

Commands

To invoke a command on an opened menu, press the underlined letter of the command name.

For example, with the File menu opened, press L to load view.

Tip: You can also use the up or down arrow key to highlight a command from any opened menu and then press enter to invoke it.
