Customizing Shortcuts on the Sage 50 Navigation Bar

Related topics

You can add, remove, or rename the shortcuts that appear on the Sage 50 Navigation Bar. If you want, you can also return to the seven default Sage 50 shortcuts. Besides this, you can add a space to the list of shortcuts. This can be placed between individual shortcuts or groups. For example, you could place a space between one group of shortcuts related to customers and another group related to vendors.

Customizing Shortcuts

To customize shortcuts, do one of the following:

  • In the Shortcuts area of the Sage 50 Navigation Bar, right-click the shortcut you want to customize. A right-click menu appears with two options:
  • Remove: Click to remove the shortcut from the list.
  • Customize: Click to further customize the shortcut. The Customize Shortcuts window appears (discussed below).

In the Shortcuts area of the Sage 50 Navigation Bar, click the Customize link. The Customize Shortcuts window appears. It lets you do the following:

  1. Click Add a Shortcut . A menu of Sage 50 program areas appears.
  2. From the menu, select the task that you want to add a shortcut for—for example, Chart of Accounts.
  3. The shortcut appears in the Selected Shortcuts box.
  4. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for as many shortcuts as you want to add.
  5. When finished, click OK.

  4. When finished, click OK.
