Description

Use the Text Shortcuts page to add or edit text shortcuts throughout the system. Text shortcuts must be enabled by the user on the Application page before they can be used. The Use Text Shortcuts checkbox can be found on the Application page located under the General Settings section. The checkbox is disabled by default. Once text shortcuts are enabled, users can trigger them by typing into text fields that accept text shortcuts.

Upon typing a text shortcut's shortcut key, the Text Shortcut will be triggered. If the Text Shortcut's Shortcut Text did not contain any Variable field codes, the shortcut text will instantly replace the shortcut key, updating the non-variable field codes automatically. If the shortcut text contains a variable field code, an Update Text Shortcut Variables pop-up opens. The shortcut text is displayed, including updated non-variable field codes, as read-only text. Input fields are displayed in place of the variable field codes.

Text input variable field codes are replaced with a text input field. The name of the variable is displayed in the text input field as a placeholder to give the user an idea of what they should enter for each variable. Drop-down variable field codes are replaced with a drop-down menu containing the options set up in the field code. The pop-up has Save and Cancel buttons. Upon selecting Save, the text shortcut's shortcut key is replaced with the updated shortcut text from the pop-up. Variables that were left blank on the pop-up are removed from the updated shortcut text. Upon selecting Cancel, the pop-up closes and no text shortcuts are added. 

If text shortcuts are enabled, users can open a Text Shortcut List pop-up by typing /help in any text field that accepts text shortcuts. The Text Shortcut List pop-up has the same filter and table as seen on the Text Shortcut list page. Users may insert a text shortcut by selecting the link text in the table. This triggers the text shortcut as if the shortcut key was typed into the field used to open the pop-up (the field in which the user typed "/help"). Selecting a text shortcut from the pop-up closes the pop-up, even if the selected text shortcut opens the Update Text Shortcut Variables pop-up. See the Text Shortcuts topic for information on how to create text shortcuts.
