Using Keys and Getting Help

Because these menus appear on the client and not on the

admin system

, the menus are provided in a form

For pop-up lists, help screens and other messages, you may use the arrow keys to move up and down

Help Windows: The F1 or “!” key (shift/1) may be pressed at any field or menu item to obtain help
