Keyboard Shortcuts

The Driver Call In program has numerous functions that can be invoked by combinations of keystrokes. These were designed to make data entry faster by replacing mouse usage with keyboard usage. In most cases, as with all TruckMate programs, the underscoring of a letter in a field label indicates 'hot keys'. When you see an underlined letter, it means that you can use the <ALT> key in combination with that letter to invoke the function. Some 'hot keys', however, cannot be indicated by underscores. These are listed below:

  • '<Ctrl><left>' and '<Ctrl><right>' are hotkeys for the main navigation bar.

  • '<Ctrl><insert>' (or '<Ctrl><add>') and '<Ctrl><delete>' (or '<Ctrl><subtract>') apply to the position or hours Grid navigation bar (if that Tab is showing).

  • '<Ctrl><Enter>' and '<Ctrl><Esc>' apply to the position, hours or notes Grid navigation bar (if that Tab is showing).

  • Use the Alt key to switch between Tabs ('<Alt><P>' = Position, '<Alt><H>' = Hours, '<Alt><Y>' = Cycle, '<Alt><I>' = History, '<Alt><N>' = Notes).

The previous day’s spin edit control on the position Tab determines which days to show on both the Position Tab and the Hours Tab. There is now a duplicate control on the hours Tab so that you can see (without flipping Tabs) the display setting. Changing one automatically changes the other.

Mileage Context Menu

You can access a menu of mileage-related options by clicking the right mouse button anywhere in the grey area that surrounds the Grids.

The Driver Call-in program, and Dispatch program are now configured to use more than one Mileage Server program per database.

Refresh Mileage Settings

If your Mileage Server setup changes, or if the Mileage Server has stopped running and had to be re-started, right-click on the Mileage button and select Refresh Mileage Settings to re-connect with the Mileage Server program.

Interactive Mileage

Displays a form where you can manually enter points and perform mileage lookups. See the Mileage Server program for information about this function.

Maintain Flat Pay

This option is only functional in the Customer Service program.

Message Checking

The message checking setup, previously found in Customer Service, Trip Traces, Dispatch, and Driver Call-in programs has been moved to the Security Setup program. This gives you greater flexibility over your message checking functions. Follow the steps found in the 'Security Tab' of the Security Setup program to set up 'Users' and even, 'Groups' of users with the same security settings.

This program supports Document Imaging.

To access Document Imaging within a TruckMate program, place your cursor in the recommended screen area (refer to the online help topic entitled Document Imaging Overview for further information), and select 'View Images'. Depending on your setup in the Codes Maintenance program > Imaging Tab, and the program you’re currently in, you’ll see prompts that will take you through the rest of the process.
