The CUI Shortcut project demonstrates how to add a keyboard shortcut to Aras Innovator.
This project and the following release notes have been migrated from the old Aras Projects page.
| Release | Notes |
|---|---|
| v2.1 | Bug fixes |
| v2.0 | Added new keyboard shortcuts |
| v1 | Initial Release * |
* The original shortcut this project demonstrated used Ctrl+A to select all items in a grid. This was added to standard product around 11.0 SP12, so it is not recommended that you use v1.
| Project | Aras |
|---|---|
| v2.1 | 12.0 SP14 |
| v2.0 | 11.0 SP15 |
| v1 | 11.0 SP12, 11.0 SP9 |
Though tested using Aras 12.0 SP14, this should support any version of 12.0
