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.
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.
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.
To invoke a command on the Action menu, use the shortcut key(s). You can view the currently assigned shortcut key(s) by opening the Action menu. You do not have to open the Action menu in order to use the shortcut key(s).
For example, press shift+f10 to void the current transaction.
Shortcut keys are customizable, and therefore may differ on each terminal. For more information, see Assigning a Shortcut Key.
Shortcut keys can be displayed on the toolbar for easy reference (see "Toolbar" below).
To select an action on the toolbar, press the shortcut key(s) that display for each action.
If arrows appear on the right and left side of the toolbar, that means additional actions are available. To view the additional actions, press ctrl and the left or right arrow key.
Displaying the shortcut keys on the toolbar is an option on the Toolbar submenu.
