Accessibility Capabilities

The available accessibility options in PMF have been automated to integrate with the accessibility settings of WebFOCUS. This enables central control of accessibility for all users requiring it, and also allows users to manually select if they want to take advantage of accessibility capabilities, without requesting any configuration changes from the Administrator.

All PMF grid content on Dashboards and in Reports or Views automatically activate the WebFOCUS ACCESSIBILITY=508 settings. This means that your reports have embedded capabilities that enable them to work better with screen readers just as JAWS and Microsoft Narrator.

In order to support the widest range of customer choice, not all indicator sets are accessible. Those that are optimized for accessibility include:

• Set 1: ISO Shapes
• Set 2: ISO Signs
• Set 4: Few - No Green
• Set 5: Glass - No Green
• Set 7: Huebgen

Note: When accessibility mode is active, PMF will have Set 4: Few - No green as the default Indicator Set. This allows you to have your users that do not require accessibility to have a different default Indicator Set. You can change the default used for accessible users by editing /approot/mainstreet/pmf_environment.fex. Standard user defaults are set in the Look panel, which can be found by going to the Manage tab and selecting Settings.

In order to support the widest range of customer choice, not all color schemes are accessible. The chart color schemes that are optimized for accessibility include:

• BLUES_GREYS
• TANS_BROWNS

Note: When accessibility mode is active, PMF will have BLUES_GREYS as the default Chart Color Set. This allows you to have your users that do not require accessibility to have a different default Chart Color Set. You can change the default used for accessible users by editing /approot/mainstreet/pmf_environment.fex. Standard user defaults are set in the Look panel, which can be found by going to the Manage tab and selecting Settings.

In order to support the widest range of customer choice, not all Content, Gadgets, and Dashboards are accessible.

• Metric Dashboard (508) - 01-05
