Shortcuts for Rational Asset Manager

Both the IBM® Rational® Asset Manager web client and Eclipse-based client are fully accessible and ready for standard keyboard navigation.

Accessibility in the web client

As you navigate the Rational Asset Manager web client, you can use standard browser-based practices and keyboard shortcuts. You can also use a screen reader such as JAWS to help you read the page.

Tip: If you press the tab key to enter into the body of a rich text editor in the web client, pressing the tab key again will create a tabbed indentation. You must press Shift-Tab to back out of the body of the text editor.
Note: Some functions in the Rational Asset Manager web client open dialog boxes. These dialog boxes are HTML dialog boxes, not Windows dialog boxes. The links that open these dialog boxes have titles that indicate that a dialog box will open. For example, suppose there is a link labeled Add review board member that has a title "Opens dialog".

Accessibility in the Eclipse client

When using the Rational Asset Manager client in an Eclipse-based IDE, you can use standard Eclipse shortcuts and keyboard combinations to navigate the workbench view, perspectives, and other interface elements in your development environment.
