Introduction

Care Control Gateway includes keyboard shortcuts to make navigating the application quicker and easier. These can be used to open commonly used areas such as Home, My Hub and Service Status, as well as helping you navigate backwards or access Administrator settings.

You can also use your keyboard or numeric keypad when entering a PIN, allowing you to sign in without selecting each number on screen.

In this guide you'll learn how to:

  • Navigate Care Control Gateway using keyboard shortcuts.
  • Quickly open commonly used areas of Gateway.
  • Use your keyboard to enter and correct your PIN.
  • Understand when keyboard shortcuts may not be available.

Use these keyboard shortcuts to navigate Care Control Gateway.

Shortcut Action
Alt + H Home
Alt + M My Hub
Alt + S Service Status
Alt + L Log In / Log Out
Alt + B Open Browser, where available
Alt + Z Open or close Zoom controls
Alt + A Open Administrator access
Alt + Left Arrow Go Back, where available

Use your keyboard to enter your PIN.

Key Action
0–9 Enter PIN digits
Numeric keypad 0–9 Enter PIN digits, regardless of Num Lock
Backspace or Delete Remove the last digit
Escape Close the PIN window, when permitted

Keyboard shortcuts will respect your current access and permissions.

Shortcuts respect your current login state, permissions and the menu options available to you. If an option isn't currently available to your account, its shortcut will not bypass those restrictions.

Administrator access still requires your normal security details.

Using Alt + A opens Administrator access, but you will still need to enter the normal PIN and password before accessing Administrator settings.

Navigation shortcuts are temporarily unavailable while a modal window is open.

If a modal window is currently open in Gateway, navigation shortcuts will be temporarily ignored. Close or complete the window before using a navigation shortcut.

Top tip

Keyboard shortcuts will only open areas that are available to you based on your current login state and permissions. Administrator access still requires the usual PIN and password.
