Task switching with Alt + Tab keys - Tip
Did you know that you can do two things at once using task switching via the Alt + Tab keys?
Example: From the Customer Special Order Parts (SOP) Status Report I want to take an invoice number and open that invoice on the screen:
- Open the Part Sales and Service Orders screens and set the filters so that you can hunt by invoice number (the trick here is to uncheck the Start Date and make sure that the Status field is blank).
- Run the Customer Special Order Parts (SOP) Status Report to the screen. Now, note an invoice number and invoice type (Parts vs. Service) and task switch by holding the Alt key on the right side of the keyboard down with your left thumb and pressing the Tab key. The task switching menu will appear with all your active tasks displayed.
- Keep your thumb on the Alt key and press the Tab key to move the selector amongst the fields.
NOTE: There is a title bar underneath all the active selections. As you press tab and switch from task to task the title of the task you are on appears in the field.
- Let go of the Alt key to select the task you have the selector on.
NOTE: You can not only toggle between DealerVu tasks but all open tasks such as your Outlook email, any dealer communication system program (DCS), Word and Excel documents.
