JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Web Client Accessibility Compliance

Web accessibility refers to the practice of improving access to websites for users with disabilities. JD Edwards EnterpriseOne strives to meet W3C guidelines for accessibility in several ways. First, keyboard shortcuts (hot keys) are provided to allow quick access to various website features, and all features are available to users without a mouse unless specifically noted in the Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) for this product. Second, an "accessibility mode" can be set for a given user or role that provides additional descriptive information for users using text-to-speech (screen reader) software.

A single HTML server port is used for both standard and visually impaired accessibility, as opposed to a separate HTML server for visually impaired users. When the Accessibility mode is set to Yes in the User Profile Revisions application (P0092), extra descriptive information tags are rendered so that they can be read by the screen reader software.
