For activities such as adding contacts to the database, you can save time by choosing the fields, priority and order to suit the information that you require. The “Quick Entry” tool allows you to choose which items will be used when tabbing through fields. In this way you can enter data quickly whilst still having fields to view.
This can be set up by job function profile, as well edited by the individual. Shortcut keys can also be set up for almost every page in NAV.
