Ctrl + Alt + F1 Shortcut Key is not working in RTC to Zoom

clip_image001

As I explained in my last post , the shortcut key (Ctrl + Alt + F1) is used in RTC for About this Page function, which will allow us to view all fields of a record.  This Shortcut Key is very important to view the fields on the subpage as it does not have the Menu option to see Help –> About this Page.

On some computers, this shortcut key does not work and it even happened on my laptop, the reason is because of the conflict of having the same shortcut key on another application. These days most of the computers come with an application called Intel HD Graphics Control Panel or other Intel application to control graphics. This application uses the same shortcut key to open the Display Panel and because of this NAV, RTC shortcut key does not work.

To resolve this, please open the Intel HD Control Panel using Programs and Click Options as shown in Fig 1, it will show you all the Hot Keys for the application

Fig 1: Intel HD Graphics Control Panel

As you can see in Fig 2. to open Display Panel it uses <Ctrl> <Alt> <F1> shortcut and which conflicts with NAV application and causes the shortcut not to function on NAV. On my laptop to resolve this I have disabled the Hot Keys by turning it off and restarted the computer.

In certain cases turning it off did not work so I have to change the Hot Key for Open Display Panel to something else and restart the computer. If disabling does not work try to change the hotkey and restart the computer.

In all the cases where I  have seen this issue the application which caused was Intel HD Graphics, but I believe it depends on upon your computer. If you run this kind of issue please make sure to check with other running application hot keys.

I hope this helps to resolve some of you who are running into the same issue.

Please leave your comments, feedback or any suggestions you have for me to improve my blog and also if you have any questions, feel free to post.

How to view all fields of a record (Zoom on Record)

question-686336_1920

In the older version i.e. in classic client version of NAV, to view all the fields for the a record you use the function zoom (Ctrl + F8) which will allow us to see all the fields of the record, it is very useful function to see other field values which are not on the form and it is easy to find a particular field  by selecting the first letter of the field.

For example in below fig. 1 by using zoom i can see all the field values of the selected customer record.

Fig 1 : Customer Card Form

You can use the same function even on the subform, for example if you want to view the fields of the sales line on the sales order form then you just need to select the salesline record and use the zoom function. Example Fig. 2

Fig 2 : Sales Order


In the newer version i.e in RTC to achieve the same results we use About this Page function which will allow us to view all the fields, filters and source expressions of a record. It can be accessed from the page as shown in the fig: 3

Help –> About this Page

Fig 3: Customer Card

The shortcut key for About this Page function is (Ctrl + Alt+ F1)

When you are on the document page to view the fields of a subpage you don’t have the option to use Help –>  About this page, so to view all the fields of a subpage record you need to select the line and use the shortcut (Ctrl + Alt + F1).

Example to view fields of a sale line on the Sales Order  Fig 4.

Fig 4: Sales Order Page

I have seen instances where the shortcut Key Ctrl + Alt + F1 does not work, i will explain it in my next blog post how to resolve that issue

Please leave your comments, feedback or any suggestions you have for me to improve my blog and also if you have any questions, feel free to post.
