| Support Tip - Keyboard Shortcuts |
Thanks to Irene of Alex E Jones & Associates for submitting the following suggestion for our support tip! Irene is "Rolling Up the Rim" and hopefully enjoying her free donut as you are reading this!
Instead of using the mouse to click on the lookup button, press the F2 function button to access the lookup screen. Then, press F4 to search by name. Save time by using the F2/F4 buttons rather than using the mouse.
Do you want to get to the next order number or next batch number faster? Press Alt-X to get the next number rather than clicking on the # button to get the next order number, next batch number, next invoice number, etc..

| Export, Burst, Email, Print and Schedule Crystal Reports |
A number of our customers are using the Visual Cut software we introduced to you in 2009. Visual Cut lets you schedule periodic and exception reports for exporting, bursting, printing and emailing. The report is generated 'unattended' in a PDF or Excel format and then automatically emailed to specific users.
Dynamic bursting is a key feature which means that you can trigger a separate export/print/email process for each customer, salesperson or product line.
It will save hours of administration time and will provide value to your business. It costs US$360 which includes 2 years of maintenance.
"Before we started using Visual Cut it would take a full day to run and export the commission reports, save them on the correct place on our network and email them to our salespeople. Now I have set up all of the reports and their destinations in Visual Cut and start the job stream to let it run and distribute the reports automatically. Visual Cut, with its intuitive user interface, provides a quick, easy, and powerful service. The money we spent to purchase Visual CUT was re-cooped in the first month of time saving."
