Internet Explorer Functionalities

Posted January 4th, 2008 at 15:41 by AlejandroBarba

I decided to start my first blog by describing some elementary functionalities within Internet Explorer that can be very useful while working with OTM.

Left clicking an OTM Menu Option + Shift key: It will open a new window displaying only the Screen Set for the selected menu option
Left clicking an OTM Menu Option + Control key: Similar to the previous instruction but it will open a new tab in Internet Explorer 7.0 displaying only the Screen Set for the selected menu option.
Control Key + "N": It will open a new OTM session. But be careful since it will be linked to the previous session so changes to the user (as user role or signing out) will affect the other session
F11: Toggle between Full-Window and Normal Window views
F5: It will take you back to the OTM Welcoming Screen
Control Key + TAB: to switch between Tabs in the same Internet Explorer window
Control Key + [Tab number 1-9]: to switch to a particular Tab in the same Internet Explorer window
Control Key + "+": Zoom In
Control Key + "-": Zoom Out

Finally, please avoid editing anything while viewing or editing the same kind of element in a different OTM session or window in the same computer. It can mix the GIDs and XIDs in the database which can be a pain to solve, believe me, I have gone through it before.
