About Keyboard Navigation

The following keys facilitate keyboard navigation in Siebel Business Applications:

• TAB and TAB+SHIFT. Press TAB to navigate forward and TAB+SHIFT to navigate backward between widgets (interface elements, such as the application menu and the application toolbar).

• Arrow keys. Press the arrow keys to navigate within a widget (such as within a list applet, within a form applet, within a drop-down list, and so on).

• ENTER. Press ENTER to navigate to the screen if the focus is on the screen or to navigate to the view if the focus is on the view.

• ESC. Press ESC to close an interface element, such as a calendar control, a calculator control, and so on, without saving changes in the interface element. Also, press ESC to cancel an operation, such as an operation to create a query or to create a new record.

You can also use keyboard shortcuts to navigate in the user interface, but you might find these keys easier to remember and use than keyboard shortcuts. For more information about keyboard shortcuts, see "Using Keyboard Shortcuts".
