Business value

Organizations want to streamline their operations with AI, automation, and productivity tools that empower workers. When time matters for entering data, every keystroke and mouse click counts. Business Central uses the familiar experience from Microsoft 365 applications, such as Excel and Word, to boost efficiency for keyboard users. Access keys with key tips help users quickly explore, navigate, and activate any action in the action bar, navigation menus, and other UI elements.

Feature details

You can use access keys with key tips, regardless of your language setting in My Settings. The feature now enables key tips for the following languages:

  • English
  • Danish
  • Dutch
  • Italian
  • French
  • German
  • Spanish
  • Portuguese
  • Swedish
  • Finnish
  • Norwegian
  • Polish
  • Czech
  • Icelandic

If you're using the Business Central web client, when you press the Alt key, the following features become available:

  • Key tips appear alongside UI elements to show the next keystroke.
  • You can use sequences of keystrokes to navigate the user interface and activate UI elements without leaving your current focused element.
  • Access keys are available for actions in the action bar and links in the navigation menu, whether or not they're assigned a specific shortcut key.
