Labs Shortcut Keys

This page was created for VetView version 1.0 and has been updated to reflect changes in VetView 5.0.

Shortcut keys, or "hot keys," exist in VetView as a way to speed up workflows on data entry heavy screen such as accessions, worksheets, and result entry.

Please note that shortcut keys may function differently from browser to browser. If your system has an application installed that prioritizes these shortcut keys, such as Sticky Notes, Windows or macOS will not permit VetView to use them.
