Quick Tips

  3. Interactive elements within widgets

Use Shift+Tab to move backwards through the same elements.

Opening Details

When a card or widget item is focused:

  1. Press Enter to open details
  2. Review the information
  3. Press Esc to close and return to the dashboard

Working with Dropdowns

For the dashboard filter bar (Type / Assignee selects and the date-range picker):

  1. Tab to focus the dropdown
  2. Enter or Space to open
  3. Arrow keys to navigate options
  4. Enter to select
  5. Esc to close without selecting

Accessibility

The dashboard is designed with keyboard accessibility in mind:

  • All interactive elements are focusable
  • Focus indicators show which element is selected
  • Screen readers announce card values and changes
  • Color is not the only indicator of status (text labels included)
