Keyboard Shortcuts
As with most software, there are a number of areas where keyboard shortcuts can be used in StrataMax. The standard windows keyboard shortcuts such as 'Copy & Paste' (Ctrl + C & Ctrl + V) still function in free text areas in StrataMax as well. For example, you can copy & paste the contents of an email into the Notes section of an owner's record in the Roll menu. The shortcuts below that relate to tagging are typically to tag or untag lots or buildings in the relevant lists.
- Ctrl + T will tag the current selection and then will drop to the next cell.
- Ctrl + U will untag the current selection and then will drop down to the next cell.
- Ctrl + A will tag all items.
- Ctrl + X will untag all items.
- Tagging an item, then pressing and holding down the Shift key and then tagging another item will, in a lot of cases, but not every case, tag all items between the first and second tagged item.
- Use the =(equals symbol) key to tick a box, and the - (hyphen symbol) key to remove a tick in a box. This can be especially useful in DocMax if using tab stops for data entry of invoices.
- Hold down the Ctrl key to select multiple separate items in a list.
- Shift + 2 will insert the day's date in date field. In some cases double-clicking will also do this.
- F3 will skip to the next field with the search term entered.
Menu Customisation
The Desktop can be customised for colour by selecting the colour picker tool in the bottom left-hand corner. Clicking this icon will allow the colour to be adjusted to a colour of your choosing. This can be a useful tool for colour disticntion for clients who may operate multiple drives.
