How to open the command bar

There are two ways to open the Campfront command bar:

  • Keyboard shortcut:

    • Mac: Press ⌘ + K

    • Windows: Press Ctrl + K

  • From the navigation bar: Click into the search box at the top of the left-hand sidebar.

Once opened, the command bar appears as a floating command palette in the center of the screen.

Context-aware actions

The Campfront command bar adapts to your current location in Campfront. This means that depending on the page you’re on, different quick actions will be available.

For example:

  • When viewing a camper's season enrolment profile, you can quickly:

    • Change the stage of the profile

    • Impersonate a user

    • Add notes or other updates

Simply type the action you want (for example, “Change stage”) and select it from the list. These contextual shortcuts make it faster to complete repetitive or frequent actions without navigating through multiple menus.

Navigation shortcuts

In addition to quick actions, the Campfront command bar also serves as a universal navigation tool.

You can access:

  • Any major section and their sub sections from the sidebar navigation

  • Your task list and user settings

  • The Knowledge Base itself - just type “knowledge base” or related keywords

You can also search for campers, staff, families, and parents by name. When you start typing a name, Campfront will show matching profiles so you can quickly open the relevant overview page.

This allows you to move around the platform or jump straight to a profile without needing to manually click through menus.

Tips

  • Start typing keywords - the command bar will instantly filter results as you type.

  • The search includes both navigation items and available actions, so you can move or act from one place.

  • Use the Campfront command bar as your go-to launcher for anything you want to do quickly in Campfront.
