How do you organize your calendars and track your work in QuickBooks?
Hi,
Those were really usefull tips. I can add one of my own to that.
While entering Qty or Rate you can calculate inside the field itself using numeric pad-
Type 5+7 and press Tab will leave a result of 12
Type 4*5 and press Tab will leave a result of 20
Thanks for this!
I knew the plus and minus but had no idea about the other ones. Love learning new tricks!
@JenPM, I am curious, did you ever incorporate these QBO Quick Tips into your workflow?
Hello James,
I still use the + and - keys and I started using the 1st day of the month and the last day of the month ones!
I tend to do alot of historical data entry so I know the date of the transaction of course but not the day of the week. Unless I had a calendar open while I'm tyiping, its just quicker to use the + & - signs :)
The end of the month one I use alot though! Saves me alot of time! Thanks!
That's awesome! Learning new tricks in software is the best, it's like you're learning it again for the first time. I remember when I learned Adobe Photoshop hotkeys about a year after I bought the program, my workflow was instantly 10x faster!
I tend to use +i for opening forms and the datafield calculation function.
