Changing hotkey assignments

Hotkeys are shortcut key combinations used for performing specific actions in Lawson Portal, on forms, or in reports. Administrators can customize Infor Lawson-delivered hotkeys for end-users. End-users can also customize their own hotkeys, if the administrator has allowed them to do so through the user's role file.
