Keyboard shortcuts let you search, open pages and create common records in Provet without using the mouse. The command menu, called Quick actions, lists the functions you can use on the current page and shows the shortcut for each one.
Note: The new keyboard shortcuts are being released to clinics in stages. If a new shortcut does not work for you yet, use the previous Alt shortcut in the table below. The Alt shortcuts continue to work.
Open the Command Menu
You can open the command menu on any page in Provet, except when a dialog is open.
To open the command menu, do one of the following:
On Windows and Linux, press Ctrl+K.
On Mac, press ⌘+K.
Select Quick actions in the left side-panel.
Type in the search field to find a function. Select the function, or use the arrow keys and press Enter. To close the command menu, press Esc or select anywhere outside it.
The command menu lists only the functions you can use on the current page. If you do not have permission for a function, it is not listed.
Keyboard Shortcuts
The table lists each function with its new shortcut and its previous shortcut.
Function | New shortcut | Previous shortcut (Windows / Mac) |
Open Search | / | Alt+S / Option+S |
Open the command menu (Quick actions) | Ctrl+K / ⌘+K | No change |
Show or hide the left side-panel | Ctrl+B / ⌘+B | Alt+L (Windows only) |
Go to Dashboard (the tab selected in your user preferences) | G, then D | Alt+D / Option+D |
Go to the Quick login / Switch user page | G, then U | Alt+U / Option+U |
Open Notifications | G, then N | None |
Open Tasks | G, then T | None |
Create a new appointment | C, then A | Alt+A / Option+A |
Create a new client | C, then C | Alt+C / Option+C |
Create a new patient | C, then P | Alt+P / Option+P |
Create a new counter sale | C, then S | Alt+I / Option+I |
Create a new task | C, then T | Alt+T / Option+T |
Create a new organization | C, then O | Alt+O (Windows only) |
On a client or patient page, the shortcuts for a new appointment, a new counter sale and a new task add the client and patient automatically. The shortcut for a new patient works only on client and patient pages.
How the New Shortcuts Work
The G and C shortcuts are sequences, not key combinations. Press G or C, release it, then press the second key within about one second.
Shortcuts do not work while you are typing in a text field or a drop-down list. Select an empty part of the page first.
The left side-panel shows the shortcut next to Search, Quick actions, Dashboard, Notifications and Tasks. When the left side-panel is collapsed, hold the pointer over a button to see its shortcut.
If you have the right side-panel, G then N and G then T open the Notifications or Tasks panel on the right. Press the same shortcut again to close the panel. Otherwise, the shortcuts open the full Notifications or Tasks page.
If you do not have access to Notifications or Tasks, the shortcut does nothing, and the function is not listed in the command menu.
Keyboard Layouts
On German, Nordic, Spanish and Italian keyboard layouts, press Shift+7 to type /. On French keyboard layouts, press Shift and the : key. The / key on the number pad also works.
Keyboard layouts that need AltGr to type / are not supported. On these layouts, open Search with Alt+S or from Quick actions.
