Pro tip thread: Hidden keyboard shortcuts in dispatch view

Josh Mercer

Been using FieldPulse daily for about 3 years now and just found out there are keyboard shortcuts in the dispatch view that nobody told me about. Thought I'd share what I've stumbled across:

  • Shift + N — opens the "New Work Order" modal without leaving dispatch
  • Shift + D — jumps to today's date on the calendar
  • Esc — closes any open modal (saves you from hunting for the X)
  • ? — shows the shortcut cheat sheet overlay

Pro tip: The ? key is your friend — that's how I found the rest of these. There's like a dozen more in there.

Anyone else found shortcuts that aren't documented? The arrow key navigation on the job cards is pretty slick once you get used to it.

    Hi! I'm so sorry if this is a silly question but I tried pressing the ? key and nothing happened for me? I'm on a Mac using Chrome if that matters. I also tried Shift+? and that just typed a question mark. Maybe I'm in the wrong screen — does this only work on the Dispatch Board or can you use it on the Team Calendar too? I've only been using FieldPulse for about two weeks so I'm still learning where everything is. I was really excited about these shortcuts because I feel like I spend so much time clicking around.

    Also is there a full list somewhere I could print out for my desk? That would be so helpful!!

    Hey Lindsey — you need to be on the Dispatch Board view specifically, not Team Calendar. Also try clicking on a blank area first to make sure no text field is active, then hit ?. On Mac you shouldn't need Shift, just the ? key by itself.

    Pro tip: If you see a question mark typed somewhere, that means a text box has focus. Click outside any job card or search box first.

    Don't know about a printable list — maybe someone from FieldPulse can chime in on that.
