Bold BI now supports keyboard navigation in dashboard viewer mode with limited functionality. This enhancement allows users to navigate dashboards without relying on a mouse and improves overall accessibility.
Before you begin, ensure the following are in place:
You can navigate dashboard elements in viewer using the following keys:
| Action | Shortcut |
|---|---|
| Move focus forward | Tab |
| Move focus backward | Shift + Tab |
| Navigate within menus | Arrow keys |
| Activate the focused item | Enter or Space |
| Close an open menu or dialog | Esc |
When a pop-up or dialog opens (for example, the Export window), focus moves to the first interactive element inside it. Continue using Tab or Shift + Tab to cycle through the available controls, and press Enter to confirm an action. Use Esc to close the dialog.
Widgets respond to the same keyboard patterns used elsewhere in the viewer:
Tab until the widget is outlined, indicating that it has focus.Shift + Tab to return to the previous widget.Note: Keyboard navigation is currently available only in dashboard viewer mode and covers a limited set of interactions.
