A System Shortcuts
In iNEWS, there are several ways to perform almost any action. This is because different
users like to work within the system in different ways. The iNEWS system lets you perform
system actions in the following ways:
• Press a key or combination of keys on the keyboard
For example, press Ctrl+N to create a new story.
• Use your cursor to click on a menu and a command within the menu
For example, select File > New Story.
• Use the toolbar buttons
For example, click the New Workspace button on the Main toolbar.
• Right-click an area to access a context menu
For example, right-click on a queue to get field width and properties commands.
System shortcuts allow you to work on the system in the fastest, easiest way for you. This
means that you can concentrate on the tasks at hand rather than having to learn a prescribed
way to use the system.
The system shortcuts perform different tasks, depending on which panel is active in the
workspace. The following charts detail the system shortcuts as they work within each
element of the system.
The following topics describe the system shortcuts in detail:
•

• Message and Mail Shortcuts
• Queue Panel Shortcuts
