Browser support of customized solutions cannot be ensured. The guarantee only applies to out-of-the-box functionalities. If a layout or feature has been adapted to customer requirements, there is no guarantee that enhancements in the standard EFS will automatically fix a customized feature.Technical Requirements. |
Working with a web application
To navigate in the admin area of EFS, there are menus, buttons, links and breadcrumb navigation at your disposal. Using browser buttons (forward, backward, refresh) when working with a web application is not recommended: information on work processes already carried out could be unintentionally lost or work steps be executed twice, due to the fact that browser functions are carried out without a callback to the server.
Saving at the end of every work process
Usually, your entries will be sent to the web server and saved, only after you have expressly confirmed with the Save button. If you make a selection or an entry in a menu, but then leave the menu without pressing Save, your data will not be saved. But with a growing amount of recently-implemented features, as e.g. the Drag & Drop questionnaire editor, changes do not need to be expressly saved anymore.
Navigating in the admin area with the keyboard
You can use different keyboard combinations in the admin area of EFS. Here are the most important rules in brief:
Forms are sent with <ALT>+<s> or in recent Firefox versions with <Alt>+<Shift>+<s>.
With the tab button <Tab> you can jump from function field to function field including menu items and buttons. With a function that is defined by selecting a radio button or an option in a drop-down list, the cursor will jump to the first radio button, the next <Tab> click will switch you to the next function. With functions in multiple response lists, <Tab> will direct you from one checkbox to the next.
With <Shift>+<Tab> you can navigate backwards
With the up/down arrow buttons you can switch in functions with a simple response list from one radio button or element of a drop-down list to the next.
In select boxes you can navigate by typing the first letter of the desired term and
then, if required, with the help of the arrow buttons jump forward or backward.You can open the online help and logout with the help of access keys. In Firefox, online help is opened with <Alt>+<Shift>+<h> and logout is initiated with <Alt>+<Shift>+<l>. In Internet Explorer <Alt>+<h>+<Return> is used to access online help and <Alt>+<l>+<Return> for logout.
