Setting the Default Value for the Accessibility Layout Personalization
When you install PeopleTools, accessibility layout features to support assistive technology are turned off, by default, and users who want to use the features must enable them in My Personalizations. You can change the default value of the Accessibility Layout personalization if you want to make the accessibility layout features visible to all users by default. For example, if the majority of your user assistive technology, you might make these features available to everyone by default so that individual users do not have to enable them.
Note: Keyboard-only navigation features are available to all users and do not require users to enable accessibility layout features.
