No, dashboards do not refer to a specific type of form control or interactive element. But, a web page dashboard can contain form controls like radio buttons, combo boxes, edit boxes and buttons. A specific example would be needed to provide further clarification on how to use it. Without any context, there really isn't much we can do to help. Marc

Like the buttons on a car radio.

Dasboard is really just a design term used to describe a webpage that displays an overview of related types of data. So, there isn't one technique or strategy that can be recommended. If the Web page was built to be standards compliant and accessible, then you should be able to use the usual techniques to navigate and interact with the content on the page. For example, headings should be used to start each section of the dashboard. Any graphs or diagrams should have text descriptions. Links and buttons should be keyboard operable and have meaningful names. Your mileage will vary depending upon the dashboard webpage you are using. There isn't much more I can offer without access to the page.
