Tip - Change Your Cursor for Navigation

If you’re on a website and you hover your mouse over a link that will navigate you somewhere else, the cursor changes to a hand. The hand cursor is indicating to the user that they can click on something. Why would you not do the same on your dashboards when you have buttons, images or text that allows for navigation? In our experience, few people ever consider this.

Did you know that there is a ‘Cursor’ property on every control that allows you to change the mouse over cursor that is displayed? Change this property to ‘Pointer’ and you will get the same hand cursor as you would on any other website.
