Shortcuts are handy, but not everyone knows about them. Here are some useful shortcuts you can use every day—they’ll save you time and provide faster navigation without having to use your mouse and keyboard at the same time. Here are five of our favourites:
1. Open the search panel: use the forward-slash “/”
This allows you to start typing directly into the search bar so you can find clients without having to click & slide the panel open first.
2. Open the global navigation panel: use the backward slash “\”
This will allow you to search for menus inside Xplan without having to open the panel with your mouse. You can start typing directly without moving the active position inside the search bar.
3. Search for key client information without using your client’s name
Ever had a phone number ring through and not remember who was on the other end? You can search for clients based on phone numbers and other key client information without needing to know your client’s name.
In the search bar, use one of the key shortcuts below to help find your clients:

4. Star your favourite menus in your Links page in Xplan
Do you have frequently used menus in Xplan that aren’t easy to access? Some menus in Xplan require several clicks to get to—you can create your own shortcuts to these by saving them to your Links page.
How?
From the global navigation menu, search for your menu page.
For example, search for the import summary and you’ll find an orange star next to the search results. Click on the orange star to save it to your links page.
5. Set global team links on the Links page
Global team links can be saved for pages that you and those in your practice use on a regular basis. These pages could be from external providers such as brokers, government websites or useful pages within Xplan.
To set global team links, select edit links at the bottom of the Links page.
