Keyboard Accessibility

The AgileApps Platform is designed to be as accessible as possible through a keyboard. Users can easily tab through the platform UI.

Tab-through provides the following options:

• When focused on tabs, use right/left arrow keys to switch tabs.
• Arrows keys work within menus to navigate between entries.
• Use skip links to shift focus to different parts of the page without tabbing through every element.
• On edit pages such as forms, the keyboard focus starts at the first editable field on the page.
• In the application navigator when accessibility is enabled, tabbing moves you through each element for every module. Use the arrow keys to move through the application navigator without focusing on these additional elements.

Color and highlight accessibility

• The GUI component that has current focus is shown with stronger highlighting, to make it stand out.
• Fields on a form include a tooltip icon. Screen readers read the tooltip when the icon is in focus.
