Filed Level Navigation functions in FAMIS can all be executed with Mouse Navigation.  Additionally, the following keystrokes can be used:

Function Name Function Key or keystroke
Advance 1 Field Tab
Back 1 Field Shift> Tab
Move through long data type field Ctrl + Tab

Note: When editing a text field, such as the Work Order Task List, the TAB key acts as an editing key within the text field, not a form navigation function.  Use MOUSE navigation to exit a text field rather than the TAB key.
