Customise toolbars, ribbons, and context menus
You can adjust the number of buttons displayed in F2’s windows and context menus. This applies to both menu items in the ribbon and the "Quick access" toolbar in the main, record, and case window as well as context menus in the different result list views. You then gain easy access to the functions you need most often without having to skim through those you rarely or never use.
Right-click a menu item or menu group to access the adjustment options. Here you have the following options:
-
Add the menu item to the "Quick access" toolbar.
-
Hide the button or menu group in the ribbon.
-
Open the "Customise the toolbar, ribbon, and context menus" window where you can update your selection of buttons in both the ribbon, "Quick access", and context menus.
| An administrator in your organisation can create default settings to customise the ribbon, the "Quick access" toolbar, and context menus for specific users and groups. Ribbons, context menus, and the "Quick access" toolbar may already be customised for you. |
Customise the “Quick access” toolbar
The “Quick access” toolbar is found in the upper left corner of the main, record, and case windows. You can add menu items from the ribbon to the quick access toolbar. This provides you with quick access to features you frequently use in your work within the window in question.
The toolbar is indicated by the drop-down arrow icon
. Click the icon to open a list of suggestions of functions you can add to the toolbar, or open the "Customise the toolbar, ribbon, and context menus" window.
The customisation window opens for the window you are in, either the main, record, or case window. This means that if you want to customise the toolbar in the case window, you need to open the customisation window directly from the case window. At the top of the customisation window, select the tab from which you want to select menu items (1).
You can select menu items for "Quick access" from the tabs in the window from which you opened "Customise the toolbar, ribbon and context menus".
In the customisation window, you can both select and deselect individual menu items or groups of menu items. Selected menu items appear on the right side of the window (2), while deselected ones appear on the left (3). You can also search for menu items using the search field on the left side of the window (4).
Select the menu items you want to add or remove. Click on the arrows in the middle of the window to move the menu items. You can also move a single menu item by double-clicking it. The changes take effect immediately, so you can see them while editing.
