Adding Widgets in Accessible Theme

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 and other keyboard shortcuts to move the on-screen focus and to activate menus and functions.

 

The figure below displays a sample Patient Portal in Accessible theme. Navigate through the open widgets using the Tab key. As you tab, different elements within the widget will be placed in keyboard focus. If the desired widget is not already available on the portal, add the widget to the display using keyboard shortcuts.

 

To add additional widgets to the Patient Portal:

 

1. Press Tab until the plus + icon in the lower-right corner of the portal is in keyboard focus.

 

2. Press Enter to open the widget tray.

 

3. Press Tab until the widget you would like to add to the portal is in keyboard focus. In the following example, the widget tray is open and a widget is shown in keyboard focus.

4. Determine which column (1, 2, or 3) to place the widget on the portal. Press Alt and 1, 2, or 3 (representing the desired on-screen column).

 

Pressing Alt + 3 opens the minimized view of the widget at the top of the third column on the portal screen. An example of this placement is shown below.

Note: The Demographics widget and the Pain Management widget within the first tab of the Patient Portal are static widgets that cannot be removed or placed in a different position. Pressing Alt + 1 or Alt + 2 when those widgets are displayed within the first tab of the portal places the new widget on the portal immediately below the Demographics or Pain Management widgets.

 

The above instructions can also be followed to add widgets to the Provider Portal. Additional keyboard shortcuts are summarized in Keyboard Shortcuts in Accessible Theme.
