Mouse acceleration feature is Off by default. For Assistive Technology Devices, this feature must be turned On. When turned on, actions from your DAD Action drop-down menus launch with just the click of a mouse.

Tip

If you do not choose a Desktop Control item to be displayed on your Desktop, you will still be able to display it manually by choosing the item from the Desktop Actions drop-down menu. The Action drop-down menu display options are categorized by Primary, Associated, Team and Agency. The assignment category is specified from each Client, Service Request and Project.
