Navigating the CommandCentral Storage Console

In the CommandCentral Storage Console window, you can use your keyboard to view information and perform operations by selecting a variety of different controls.

Examples of selectable controls include:

Tabs and subtabs
Navigational links at the top of the content pane
Column headings in tables
Hyperlinked objects in tables
Areas, such as bars in a graph, in graphical reports
Navigation arrows and zoom buttons in the Topology Map
Alert categories in the Alerts Summary list
Tools and pages in the Favorites list
Controls in the header such as Logout and Help
Refresh icon

The current active control is enclosed with a rectangle formed by dotted lines. This area has focus. Use the Tab key to move focus from one control to another.

Following are general rules for navigating the Console and performing operations:

Press Tab to move the focus to the next active area, field, or control.
Press Shift+Tab to move the focus to the previous active area. In effect, Shift+Tab is the reverse of Tab.
Press Ctrl+Tab to move the focus to the top of the browser window.
Press Enter to activate the item that has focus. For example, after pressing Tab to select a host in the Hosts summary pane, press Enter to display the object view for that host.
In a drop-down list, press the arrow keys to move up and down the list.
Move the mouse pointer over an icon in a table to display a ToolTip with textual information about the object the icon represents.
When a checkbox has focus, press the Spacebar to select or deselect the box.
Normal accessibility features for your Web browser apply. In many browsers, for example, press Shift+F10 to display a context menu with which you can move back to the previous page, print the current page, and perform other operations.
