Hi Community,
Does any one know how to navigate from one cell to another vertically.
Ex: Project Activity Progress needs to be manually updated. I am trying to find how can I use the keyboard to move to the cell below my cursor. Usually down arrow key takes you, but in Aurena that doesn’t work. Especially for a data entry person like (finance / AP / Accounting) this is going to be challenging without a keyboard shortcut.
Version Apps 10 Upd 15.
Thanks in Advance!

I can ask our User Education specialists where to find resources on usage later this week, but I can explain it a bit briefly. When the table is in Edit mode:
Tab - moves focus to next cell in “cell edit mode”, and disables navigation between cells with arrows. Tabbing until you reach the end of the row will wrap to the next row. (There is a user setting where you can change when to wrap to next row when creating “New” but not while editing.)
To move focus to another row more quickly, you can use arrow up and down. But when you are in cell edit mode, the arrows only operate within the cell. To re-enable navigation with arrow keys, you can hit “Enter” to toggle out of the cell edit mode, and then use the arrow keys to move between cells.
Hope this makes sense! In short, the keys used in the table are:
I hope someone replies with an answer that I don’t know about either, but Aurena is not data entry or keyboard friendly.
Seems that no one has an answer for this. Which leaves me with the conclusion that its not possible to navigate efficiently with keyboard only. :(
+9Hi, is this still not possible in cloud? I know we have edit all, but then we need to change the lines to same value. I know we can also use “tab” but then we need to move through all columns.

+2We have the same problem in the Quality Management/Quality Control area when recording the measurement results in the Analysis Result window.
Our customer needs the possibility to switch from one data line to the next with the TAB key. We hope that this function will be implemented as soon as possible. This function will save the user a lot of time.

Thanks for that, can you give a bit of an expanded answer on how to use it ? Is there documentation ? I have a 24R2 environment and when I have a multirow editable list, when I click edit, the arrow buttons do absolutely nothing to move to the same field in the next row.
What buttons are we supposed to use to achieve that ?
Here’s the list of published keyboard shortcuts:
Next/Previous record is obviously used with selectors on a page, but I don’t see any short cut to move to the same field in the next record in editable lists in there.
Update:
I found a combination that does something: Combination of Tab + Arrows (So Tab + down arrow).
You need to first press tab then quickly start pressing arrows without releasing tab, and that lets you move around on the tables. (I say quick because if you just leave tab pressed, it starts cycling field by field).
If that’s indeed the way though, that’s not “great” as when you reach the same field in the next row, you dont have the mouse cursor, and therefore typing doesn’t actually do anything, and you need to click the cell anyways to enable the mouse cursor, so it’s not particular helpful (the point being to use the mouse as least as possible).
Am I mising anything?
I found that if I use the same shortcut twice in a row, the first one takes me down to the next row, the second one opens the cursor so that I can start typing, but I’m wondering if this is really the expected way to do that ? (Need to do Alt Down twice in a row, to tab down and be in a write mode with text cursor)

Thanks ! that indeed works.
In edit mode: arrows to move to the cell you want to edit, hit enter to enable cursor in cell, edit whatever text you need, hit enter again to be able to move with arrows again.
Works great, thanks guys.
