Understanding Processing Notifications for Assistive Technology Users

PeopleTools and PeopleSoft applications usually indicate system processing by displaying a Loading icon on the screen.

Assistive technology users need a way to identify that this type of background processing is occurring. 

If a Loading icon displays on the screen for more than two seconds, screen readers read "Processing. Please Wait." Once the load is complete, screen readers read "Loading Complete." That is, there is a delay time of two seconds between the start of system processing and when the “Processing. Please Wait.” notification is available to the screen reader.
