New Tab Key Control in Acumatica 2020R1

Acumatica Tips & Tricks.png

Here is the scenario I ran into:

A client is accustomed to using the TAB key and would like to maneuver through Bills entry using the tab key.

The Solution

Previously, if a column contained many columns, and the user wanted to navigate to the cells of the last column, the user had to select the TAB as many times as there were columns. In Acumatica version 2020R1, you can control the use of the tab key.  That is, choose which fields you want the tab key to stop at and which field you want the tab key to ignore.

To set this up select the column configuration tab and for each selected column click on the word TAB to ignore the field using the keyboard TAB key.  The word tab will have a strikethrough to it.  This means the field will be ignored.  All other tabs without the TAB will not be affected.
