The Tab Key...Use It!

Written by  Administrator
Nearly all of the employees at Sycamore are technology gurus.  Our development team is filled with top-notch geeks; our support team (especially at the Minnesota center) is seriously savvy; and even the sales and marketing people possess some mad tech skills.  This isn't the case at most schools.  And this post is meant for users of Sycamore Education who are just a little bit challenged when it comes to technology.  

Sycamore  Education is web-based, and I mean entirely web-based.  That's a good thing.  It means you don't need any special equipment, and you don't need to maintain servers, just to name a couple of the benefits.  Our clients can login to Sycamore from any internet-connected computer and they will have complete access to the entire system.  It's that simple.  

The Sycamore system is incredibly intuitive, and wonderfully user-friendly, but here's a little tip to the uninitiated: use your 'tab' key! A member of our support team recently brought it to my attention that over the years, she'd repeatedly heard from teachers who commented that it took too much time to use the mouse to click on each data field in areas such as the student profile and address book. Simple solution: hit the 'tab' key.  


 

For example, when you are sending a Pass-a-Note, the cursor will automatically appear in the 'subject' field.  Type in your subject, hit 'tab', type in your message, hit 'tab', and now the submit button will be automatically be selected.  Just hit 'enter' and you're done.  This was done without ever using the mouse to point and click.  This same holds true for most of the information you need to enter in the system.
