Section 508 Accessibility

WebFOCUS provides accessibility that meets the requirements set by Section 508. WebFOCUS complies with accessibility requirements as a result of the following features:

• The ACCESSIBLE and ACCESSHTML SET parameters generate HTML report output that are Section 508 compliant. The ACCESSHTML parameter supersedes the ACCESSIBLE parameter (which is still supported) because it will allow for future expansion to support additional accessibility standards. This HTML code automatically turns off pagination and column titles, page headings display only at the beginning of the report, and page footings are displayed only at the end of the report. For more information on this parameter, see Customizing Your Environment and Technical Memo 4505: WebFOCUS HTML Report Accessibility Support.
• The ACCESSPDF SET parameter generates PDF report output that is Section 508 compliant.
• The SUMMARY WebFOCUS StyleSheet attribute maps reports and graphs to the HTML <TABLE SUMMARY> tag and places a description of the report or graph into a summary object inside the HTML table. For details on this attribute, see Laying Out the Report Page in the Creating Reports With TIBCO WebFOCUS® Language manual.
• The ALT WebFOCUS StyleSheet attribute is for use with a drill-down report you specify in a WebFOCUS StyleSheet. It maps to the HTML ALT tag on a hyperlink in a report. It can also add descriptive text to an embedded image in an HTML report. For details on this attribute, see Laying Out the Report Page in the Creating Reports With TIBCO WebFOCUS® Language manual.
