Users can change their portal display to accommodate assistive technologies or slow internet connections.
| Interface Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Standard Portal | The fully-featured user interface for the AquaLogic Interaction software. Use it to provide the richest user interface experience for internal and external users. This version does not support assistive technologies. |
| Assistive Technology Portal | Designed for people with disabilities. It supports only portlets that meet requirements for use with assistive technologies. Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act is a federal statute requiring federal agencies’ electronic and information technology to be accessible to people with disabilities, including employees and members of the public. The federal criteria for web-based technology are based on access guidelines developed by the Web Accessibility Initiative of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Designed to adhere to the federal criteria for web-based technology, the Assistive Technology Portal allows end users with visual disabilities to access the portal through assistive browsing technologies, such as screen readers, screen magnifiers, voice recognition and Braille devices. The interface is text-based with a linear presentation of information, and with no embedded client-side JavaScript or Java applets. |
| Low Bandwidth Portal | Accommodates users with slower internet connections. This version supports all AquaLogic User Interaction portlets, but does not support assistive technologies. Remote users have two options for viewing portal pages—the standard version and the Low Bandwidth version. Users can switch from one version to the other during a portal session and the change occurs immediately. The Low Bandwidth Portal provides better performance for end users accessing the portal remotely when network performance is slow due to low bandwidth or heavy traffic. This version presents a user interface with far fewer graphics and no embedded JavaScript or Java applets. |
