4 Using JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Accessibility with JAWS Screen Reader Software

This chapter contains the following topics:

4.1 JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Web Client Accessibility Compliance

A single JAS server port serves for both the standard and visually impaired accessibility as opposed to a separate JAS server set up in LOW interactivity for visually impaired users. When the Accessibility mode is set to Yes in the User Profile Revisions application (P0092), the web client is rendered in LOW interactivity, irrespective of the jas.ini setting. All the extra tags with the relevant information are rendered so that they can be read by the screen reader software, JAWS.

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne components that are accessible include:

  • JD Edwards EnterpriseOne application accessibility.

  • EnterpriseOne Menu accessibility.

  • Data Browser accessibility.

4.2 JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Application Accessibility

These components of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne applications are accessible through JAWS:

  • Forms in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne

  • Controls in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne

  • Hot Keys

  • HTML pages

  • Hyper Exit Menu

  • Processing Indicator

4.2.1 Forms in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne

The screen reader software, JAWS, reads the form title when a form initially loads.

4.2.2 Controls in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne
