Too Many Clicks? Use Shortcuts.
If you open the same FLS Cloud screens many times a day, keyboard shortcuts can save time.
Instead of going through the menu, you can press a key combination to open screens like Contacts, Lots, Add Cattle Move-In, Feed Call, Load Sheets, Medical Screen, and Reports.
Where To Find It
Go to:
MyFLS → Settings → Shortcuts
You will see all shortcut options grouped by area:
- Finance
- Cattle
- Feed
- Medical
- Reports
- MyFLS
Some shortcuts are already set. Others are blank so you can customize them.
How To Change A Shortcut
- Click inside a shortcut box.
- Press the key combination you want.
- Click Save.
FLS Cloud will show a success notification and keep the screen open so you can keep editing.
Helpful Checks
FLS Cloud helps prevent problems by checking for:
- Duplicate shortcuts
- Common browser shortcut conflicts
For example, if two menus use the same shortcut, you will see a message like:
Shortcut Alt+Shift+B has been used by both Finance - Contacts and Cattle - Add Move-In.
Try to avoid browser shortcuts like Ctrl+T, Ctrl+W, and Ctrl+P.
Clear Or Reset
Click the small x beside a shortcut to remove it.
Click Reset to Default to restore the original FLS Cloud shortcuts.
When Shortcuts Work
Shortcuts work when your cursor is not inside a text box or editable field. This prevents shortcuts from interrupting normal data entry.
Why It Helps
Custom shortcuts make FLS Cloud faster for daily tasks, especially if you often switch between cattle, feed, finance, medical, and report screens.
Set up the shortcuts that match your workflow, and you can move through FLS Cloud with fewer clicks and less time spent searching through menus.
