|
(a) When software is designed to run on a system that has a keyboard, product functions shall be executable from a keyboard where the function itself or the result of performing a function can be discerned textually. |
Supports |
Focus set on most appropriate control. Use arrow keys to navigate instead of a mouse. CTRL-F1 hot key popup list describes all mnemonic accelerator keys. |
||
|
(b) Applications shall not disrupt or disable activated features of other products that are identified as accessibility features, where those features are developed and documented according to industry standards. Applications also shall not disrupt or disable activated features of any operating system that are identified as accessibility features where the application programming interface for those accessibility features has been documented by the manufacturer of the operating system and is available to the product developer. |
Supports |
No known conflicts. Accessibility features include special scripts developed for support of the JAWS Screen Reader program. |
||
|
(c) A well-defined on-screen indication of the current focus shall be provided that moves among interactive interface elements as the input focus changes. The focus shall be programmatically exposed so that Assistive Technology can track focus and focus changes. |
Supports |
Focus intentionally set for most logical/functional screen element on screen open. |
||
|
(d) Sufficient information about a user interface element including the identity, operation and state of the element shall be available to Assistive Technology. When an image represents a program element, the information conveyed by the image must also be available in text. |
Supports with Exception |
Display of photo includes a photo caption, but no focus available on the photo caption text. |
||
|
(e) When bitmap images are used to identify controls, status indicators, or other programmatic elements, the meaning assigned to those images shall be consistent throughout an application's performance. |
Supports |
Status bar used for most controls. |
||
|
(f) Textual information shall be provided through operating system functions for displaying text. The minimum information that shall be made available is text content, text input caret location, and text attributes. |
Supports with Exceptions |
Software is primarily point and click database retrieval/information display. Very few text inputs. |
||
|
(g) Applications shall not override user selected contrast and color selections and other individual display attributes. |
Supports |
No overrides |
||
|
(h) When animation is displayed, the information shall be displayable in at least one non-animated presentation mode at the option of the user. |
N/A |
No animation used in this product at this time. |
||
|
(i) Color coding shall not be used as the only means of conveying information, indicating an action, prompting a response, or distinguishing a visual element. |
Supports with Exceptions |
Little use of color. Displayed matching key words are emboldened. Some display areas have pastel-colored backgrounds to distinguish relevant data. |
||
|
(j) When a product permits a user to adjust color and contrast settings, a variety of color selections capable of producing a range of contrast levels shall be provided. |
N/A |
No user adjustable colors. |
||
|
(k) Software shall not use flashing or blinking text, objects, or other elements having a flash or blink frequency greater than 2 Hz and lower than 55 Hz. |
Supports |
No flashing or blinking objects |
||
|
(l) When electronic forms are used, the form shall allow people using Assistive Technology to access the information, field elements, and functionality required for completion and submission of the form, including all directions and cues. |
Supports with Exceptions |
JAWS describes the few edit fields properly, but does not always describe the associated label. This could probably be scripted. |
