Accessibility Automation

The available accessibility options in PMF have been automated to integrate with the accessibility settings of WebFOCUS. This enables central control of accessibility for all users requiring it, and also allows users to manually select if they want to take advantage of accessibility capabilities, without requesting any configuration changes from the Administrator.

All PMF grid content on Dashboards and in Reports or Views automatically activate the WebFOCUS ACCESSIBILITY=508 settings. This means that your reports have embedded capabilities that enable them to work better with screen readers just as JAWS and Microsoft Narrator.

You can change the default used for accessible users by editing /approot/mainstreet/pmf_environment.fex. Standard user defaults are set in the Look panel, which can be found by going to the Manage tab and selecting Settings.
