Navigating Forms and Panels

All elements within the CV user interface are accessible via the keyboard when the user sets the Accessible user interface theme. CV enables the use of keystrokes to navigate to and from on-screen elements and to activate menus and functions. The Alt + 4 or Alt + 5 are unique keystrokes enabled in CV. Use Alt + 4 to jump directly to the top or main field in a panel or dialog box. Use Alt + 5 to jump between left- and right-side panels.

 

In the following example, the Provider Group field is in focus (within the Manage Providers panel). To access the Manage Provider fields and settings, press Tab to jump to each field. To navigate back up through the fields, press Shift + Tab. Alternately, from any field in focus on the right panel, use the Alt + 4 shortcut to jump directly back to the Provider Group field (the first or main field within the Manage Providers panel).

 

From any field in focus on either panel, press Alt + 5 to jump directly to the first or main field of the opposite panel. In the following example, pressing Alt + 5 while a field on the right side is in keyboard focus takes the user to the Search Providers panel (left panel) and automatically places focus in the Provider search field.
