Oracle Accessibility Conformance Report

VPAT® Version 2.3 - April 2019

Name of Product:

Oracle Visual Builder Runtime 19.1 (Updated)

Product Description:

Oracle Visual Builder is a browser-based low code platform for rapidly creating and hosting business applications through a declarative user interface, without requiring the author to write code. For certain use cases, the author may choose to augment the behavior of applications by writing some code.Visual Builder consists of a number of pages, wizards, and other browser-based tools that are used by the author to create and modify web applications. These components in combination are referred to in this document collectively as the "Designer". This document does not address accessibility of the Designer.Applications created by a Visual Builder user (author) can be made available to other users on the system through the built-in publishing system. Applications created with Visual Builder and hosted on Visual Builder servers are referred to in this document as Visual Builder Runtime applications, or simply "The Product".  Visual Builder Runtime applications are designed to be accessible by end users. For certain features, though, the application author must take care to provide information to the application through the Designer interface to achieve specific accessibility features in the resulting application. The Designer assists the author with providing this information as needed.The Visual Builder Designer is built on the Oracle JET framework. Furthermore, applications that are created and hosted on Visual Builder consist of HTML, JavaScript, and CSS resources which rely heavily on Oracle JET for the User interface.
