Customize Shortcuts on the Sage 50 Navigation Bar
How
Do I...
You can add, remove, or rename the shortcuts
that appear on the Sage 50 Navigation Bar.
If you want, you can also return to the seven .
Besides this, you can add a space to the list of shortcuts. This can be
placed between individual shortcuts or groups. For example, you could
place a space between one group of shortcuts related to customers and
another group related to vendors.
