VPAT® Version 2.3 - April 2019
PeopleSoft HCM Applications are a suite of web-based enterprise software business products that provide comprehensive, core, and strategic HR features. The suite of products are designed to accommodate large businesses with complex business requirements and can be deployed either on-premise or in the cloud. PeopleSoft HCM includes both a Classic/Classic Plus UI which is non-responsive and Fluid UI which is based on responsive as well as adaptive design. This ACR covers both the Classic/Classic Plus and Fluid forms of the UI. This ACR summarizes the PeopleSoft Human Capital Management Applications version 9.2x and is dependent on the PeopleSoft Enterprise PeopleTools ACR.
This VPAT applies to only version 9.2x May 2023 revision. It does not apply to any versions of PeopleSoft HCM Applications after this. This VPAT has been superseded by PeopleSoft HCM Applications (January 2024 revision) 9.2x.
This ACR does not cover the following product areas:
Screen Reader Mode is configured in PeopleSoft products on a per user basis. With PeopleTools, there are a variety of methods which can be used to enable Screen Reader Mode. The first method is at sign-on, where the user can select a checkbox directly on the sign-on page to enable Screen Reader Mode. The second method allows each individual user to configure the User Interface (UI) mode in which they operate, whether it is Standard User Mode or Screen Reader Mode. The UI mode is set via the user preferences in PeopleTools Personalizations. To set Screen Reader Mode user preferences, the user navigates to 'My Personalizations' and then selects 'Personalize General Options.' The next step is to set the Accessibility Features Personalization Option to 'Use Screen Reader Mode'. The third method allows a user to activate Screen Reader Mode via the 'Actions' menu on the homepage on a one-time basis or a recurring basis. If a recurring basis is selected, the the user preference for Screen Reader Mode is saved in 'My Personalizations' and will persist for subsequent logins.
There is a section in the document "PeopleSoft Enterprise PeopleTools 8.60 Online Help: Accessibility Guide" titled "Setting Up PeopleSoft Accessibility Features" that further explains the steps to configure Screen Reader mode in the application.
