Good to know
Why does the same key appear in different categories?
Some commands are available globally, while others depend on the current screen. For example, help may relate to the current topic. Check the context before using a shortcut.
Why is a function key not working on my laptop?
Your keyboard may use its top row for volume or brightness. Try Fn with the function key, check Fn Lock, and consult your keyboard settings. Remote-desktop tools may also intercept combinations.
Can I use these shortcuts in this browser?
No. This is a reference guide. Use the combinations inside BUSY; your browser may assign them different actions. This page does not intercept your keyboard shortcuts.
How do I save a copy for my desk?
Choose Print / save PDF and use your browser’s print dialog. Printing includes all four categories, even if you have filtered the on-screen list.
Can you help my staff learn BUSY?
Yes. Ask our Chandigarh team about workflow-focused training, implementation and support. Use the training button to request a consultation.
