Keyboard Navigation With Data Grid

For accessibility purposes I need to be able to navigate through Data Grid rows and select a row using only the keyboard. I have not found any combination of keys that can do this so far. How do I navigate the Data Grid without a mouse?

  • Hello, thank you for reaching out to Decisions. At the moment this can only be done through one very particular setup. You cannot do it with Data Grids, only with Advanced Data Grids.

    The following are the minimum requirements to navigate the actual Data Grid report with a keyboard:

    • Your Decisions environment must be on 9.23+
    • You have to be using an Advanced Data Grid instead of a Data Grid.
    • You have to have Grid Mode set to MultipleSelect. That makes the boxes appear to the left of rows and this is what the keyboard can actually navigate.
    With those points met you can use Tab to cycle through all eligible Form components until the box to the left of your target row is highlighted. To actually select the row you press the Space bar. An example project has been provided. If you run the flow it contains it will populate an Advanced Data Grid with the first 10 rows in your entity_account table. You can then test the keyboard navigation on that Form.
