Providing documentation for users

To facilitate use of your HATS application, you may want to document the keyboard settings for your users—either in the application's graphical user interface or in some other easily displayed form (perhaps a link in your template). Your documentation should describe:
  • How to turn keyboard support on and off, using Turn Keyboard On/Off.
  • The HATS keyboard mapping, as shown in Key mapping in HATS.
  • How the Enter key works with HATS tabbed folders. Keyboard support must be off when the user presses the Enter key to display the contents of a different tab, after using the Tab key to move to a new tab. If keyboard support is not turned off, the Enter key goes to the host.
  • For a list of the required level of Web browsers and limitations for using keyboard support with HATS Web applications, see "System Requirements for Host Access Transformation Services" at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/320035 and "Host Access Transformation Services 9.7 - Known issues and workarounds" at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/876092.
