About function keys
Function keys can be defined in apps by the system administrator.
Apps can contain function keys that execute specific actions. Each function key executes only one action. For example, most apps have a function key that allows you to exit the app. Different function keys may be available for each app. The availability of function keys can also vary based on where you are located in an app.
For information about using function keys in your specific environment, contact your system administrator.
