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.

Pro tip thread: Hidden keyboard shortcuts in dispatch view

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.

in my experience half these shortcuts break when you have the job details panel open on the right. the ? one still works but the number keys for priority get eaten by the panel. close it first.
also if you're on the old dispatch UI (some accounts still are) none of this works. you need the "new" board that launched last year.

Hi Art, thanks for flagging that! You're right that the shortcuts work best when the details panel is closed. Lindsey, here's a printable reference: Advanced Dispatch: Color Coding and Filters includes a shortcuts section at the bottom.
