Recreation Software Review – Rectrac Database Simple Functions
The Rectrac software comes equipped with many simple functions that anyone, at any level in the administration of the software can utilize.
1. Keyboard Function Keys – F8 can clear fields in the software. This is especially helpful when the date field errors that you need one but really it’s not required. F1 opens the Help program on any screen you’re on so you can receive information as to what’s needed. F11 will tell you what program Rectrac is running. This is helpful when troubleshooting with the vendor VSI.
2. Rectrac Help – Using the F1 key or by clicking on the Help function at the bottom of Rectrac will open the Help dialogue screen. You will receive help for what’s on that screen or you can search based on keyterms for help information.
3. Spell Check – Use the keyboard shortcut SHIFT+F7 while the cursor is inside of a block of text to have a spellcheck option. You will need to have MS Word installed on the PC for this function to work in Rectrac.
4. Rectrac Lock-ups – If the Rectrac program seems to be locked up and you can’t wait for it to release or it doesn’t on its own, you can use the keyboard shortcut CTRL+PAUSE/BEAK to close the program and you can log in again.
These and many other quick shortcuts can be used in the software to make your Rectrac database work quicker for you and your employees!
