Accessibility in the Web Application

Your Siebel Web application has been designed to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.0 AA level, and U.S. Section 508, where possible and practical. Oracle has taken leadership in not only attempting to meet mandates, but to provide very practical and usable business solutions for business users and consumers that require accessibility features. Accessibility is always enabled and requires no special tasks for users. No action is required to enable accessibility features outside of availability of appropriate assistive technology.

In order to address these accessibility standards, your Siebel Web application relies on the WAI-ARIA coding techniques (Web Accessibility Initiative - Accessible Rich Internet Applications). One example of WAI-ARIA t hat has been implemented are Regions, which allow users to navigate to various parts of a page such as the Menu, Toolbar and Applets using keyboard shortcuts provided by assistive technology that has also implemented WAI-ARIA.

Note: To fully leverage Accessibility in Siebel Web applications, end users must use browsers and assistive technologies that have implemented WAI-ARIA. Only a subset of accessibility features is available without support of WAI-ARIA.
