Step 14: Set Up your Function Keys

The function keys on the top row of your keyboard, F1-F12, provide single-key input of common words or phrases. The Setup Function Key screen is accessed from the PastPerfect Main Menu by clicking Setup, then clicking Function Keys. This will open the screen shown below where you can set up the function keys. The keys F3-F6 and F9-F12 can be redefined as often as you like. The F1 key is used to access help, F2 is reserved as the Save key, F7 is reserved for accessing authority files, and F8 is set as today's date, entered as [Date]. To set up the other keys, enter text, up to 128 characters, to the right of the key. Each user can have his or her own function key assignments when users have been set up through Security.
