Can I navigate through my records in the Details page by clicking the arrow keys on my keyboard instead of pressing the next and previous buttons on the page?

Hi,

 

I was wondering whether it would be possible to move back and forth between my records in my Details page by pressing the left and right arrow keys on my keyboard instead of the buttons on the page

Hi,

 

Yes, you could do this using JavaScript.

 

On your Report DataPage, go to the Configure Details Page Fields and add a Header and footer. Disable the HTML editor for the footer and paste the following:

 

<script>

var prev = document.querySelector("a[data-cb-name='JumpToPrev']");
var next = document.querySelector("a[data-cb-name='JumpToNext']");

 document.onkeydown = function (event) {
      switch (event.keyCode) {
     

         case 37:
            //left arrow
            prev.click();
            break;
    
         case 39:
            //right arrow
            next.click();
            break;
         

      }
   };

</script>

Just wanna add, you can also apply this to the results page, just copy the entire thing to the footer of the Configure Results Field screen when editing your DataPage.

 

You can also add key events for the first and last page of the results by adding these variables:

var first = document.querySelector("a[data-cb-name='JumpToFirst']");
var last = document.querySelector("a[data-cb-name='JumpToLast']");

 

and to reference them on the switch case:

   case 33:
             //page up
            first.click();
            break;

            case 34:
             //page down
            last.click();
            break; 

 

(for the example above i used the page up to go to the first page, and the page down to go the last page)
