Business value
This feature improves usability and accessibility by making it easier and simpler for users to reach all portions of a page.
Feature details
Historically in Finance and Operations apps, users would tab between all the controls in each region of a full-page form (such as the navigation bar, main form, or Action pane). To move focus to a different region on the page, users needed to use the mouse or a dedicated keyboard shortcut. This feature removes these tabbing containers so that a user can tab through all controls on a full-page form regardless of the region they're working in and without the need for special keyboard shortcuts.
The existing keyboard shortcuts will continue to function as a means for users to move quickly between the regions on a page. For more information on those shortcuts, see Navigation shortcuts.
The general tabbing order through any full-page form follows this order:
- Navigation bar
- Navigation pane
- Action pane
- Show filters/Show list buttons
- Filter pane (if visible)
- Navigation list (if visible)
- Main page content
- Aside pane (if visible)
The control that gets initial focus on page load isn't impacted by these changes.
