Apart from the controls listed in this table, there are some additional controls in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne applications that are accessible through the screen reader software.

The other controls include:

  • Grid control

  • Calendar control

  • Tree control

  • Extended form control (Release 9.2.2.4)

Grid Control

The screen reader software reads the associated details when you navigate through the grid in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne application.

The grid control is accessible as a table.

The QBE row and the column header row constitute the first two rows of the table, with the QBE row being the first row and the column header row being the second row. When you navigate to the table, the screen reader software reads the number of columns and rows, then the name of the grid. For example, in the Work with Addresses Grid in the P01012 application, after typing "T" to jump to the first table, the screen reader software might read "grid with 8 columns and 12 rows, Address Book Revisions - Work with Addresses QBE Row records 1-10, column 1, row 1."

Each data row is accessible using the screen reader table navigation commands (for example, CTRL+ALT+arrow keys in JAWS), with the QBE row being the first row and the column header being the second row.

Note: If user navigates horizontally in a grid row (including QBE row, grid header row, or grid data row), the screen reader reads the column header for each cell the user navigates.If user navigates vertically in a grid column (including row selector column, attachment column, or data column), the screen reader reads the row header for each cell the user navigates.

This table lists the details read by the screen reader software when you navigate through the grid:
