For every Teamroom and folder within Teamrooms you can change the view of the object list between content view, details and preview. Therefor open the desired Teamroom or folder.

The column filters can be accessed via the column header. The values filter for date values is represented by a tree structure. Only one tree element ever has a tabindex. The arrow keys, Pos 1 and End can be used to navigate between the tree elements. Screen readers can determine whether an element is expanded via the aria-expanded attribute. If subordinate tree elements have only been partially selected (for example, only one day of several in a month), then the superordinate tree elements have the status "partially selected". This is made clear when using screen readers with the attribute aria-checked="mixed". When a partially selected element is selected, all subordinate elements are selected.
In the detail view, the table handling can be activated via the button “Table Handling” in the column header (Alt + F2) as an alternative editing mode. Thus, the controls work similarly to a spreadsheet program.

The tree view allows the navigation in Teamroom and folder hierarchies.

Up | Navigates to the previous visible entry. |

The “Permissions” tool for managing team members is very similar to the “Navigation” tool in terms of keyboard operation. The only difference is that the main nodes are always open. To speed up the navigation of many members the arrow keys navigate up and down at the top level directly between the highest nodes not to the next or previous entry. The deeper levels behave identically to the tree navigation.
The Fabasoft Cloud uses forms to display object properties and settings.
Note: Screenreader users should activate the Include All Fields in Tab Order option in the Basic Settings (see chapter “Notes on Keyboard Operations”). This way also read-only fields are included in the tab order.

Shift + Tab | Navigates to the previous field. |

Alt + 7 | Navigates to the tabs (if present). |

Note: In aggregate lists, generally the same key combinations apply as for the details view of lists. However, the difference is that F2 in aggregate lists toggles the entire list between edit and navigation mode and not just a cell.
The process view, as it can be found on the “Processes” tab, for example, has been implemented as an open, horizontal tree view. The difference to a standard tree view, however, is that the nodes cannot be collapsed and the main sequence of entries is not from top to bottom, but from left to right.
