Enabling Accessibility for Reporting and Analysis Framework

Note: The Enable Screen Reader Support preference for Reporting and Analysis Framework

enables screen readers and magnifiers to access and work with Reporting and Analysis Framework. If you change the Enable Screen Reader Support preference setting during a session, you must restart your browser to enable the changes. If you are using JAWS Screen Reading Software, Oracle recommends using the Microsoft Internet Explorer browser.

To enable accessibility:
1 2
From Reporting and Analysis Framework, select File, and then Preferences. Under Accessibility Mode, select Enable Screen Reader Support.

This option enables the screen reader that you have installed to read the information displayed on the screen. Enable Screen Reader Support is displayed in Oracle Hyperion Reporting and Analysis Framework User Preferences, General tab when using Microsoft Internet Explorer.

Note: EPM Workspace keyboard navigation is only available when accessibility features are

enabled. You can disable keyboard navigation when the screen reader setting is not active. To disable keyboard navigation, add the parameter: DISABLE_KEYBOARD_NAV_IN_NON_508_MODE=true to the Hyperion Interactive Reporting Service (BI) in Dynamic Service properties in the Services section of EPM Workspace. For more information see "General Services Configuration Properties" in the Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Workspace, Fusion Edition, Administrator's Guide.

Accessibility for Online Help

When the Screen Reader Support preference is enabled, the help window is visually rearranged so that the help topic is first in document order, displaying above the help toolbar. This is to ensure that a screen reader program reads the help topic first when online help is invoked. Table 11, Online Help Keyboard Shortcuts, on page 10 lists the keyboard shortcuts for online help. The following is additional information you may need when using online help:
l

To help screen reader users, when a page loads in the Help Topic frame, scripting shifts focus to the loaded document. For example, when help is opened, focus is set on the Help Topic frame document. Use the Virtual PC Cursor option in the screen reader to read the Help topic. Press Insert +Z to toggle the Virtual PC Cursor and use JAWS commands to read the text. HTML elements such as form controls typically function as would be expected for your browser (and screen reader, if applicable). Following are a few exceptions:
m

Contents page: In the tree that displays the selected help systems table of contents, there are two types of links:
o

Links containing the target topic titles. If you activate these links, the target topic opens in the Help topic frame, and focus moves to that topic. Links that open subtopics. When focus is on these links, a screen reader program reads one of the following:
l

Collapse Node if the subtopic links are expanded; activating the link removes the subtopic links from the tab order.

Accessibility Guide

Expand Node if the subtopic links are collapsed; activating the link places the subtopic links in the tab order.

After activating this type of link, the next link in the tab order is the topic, followed by any subtopics. These links are located before their corresponding topic links in tab order. Press Shift+Tab to determine whether a topic has subtopics; if the screen reader reads Expand Node or Collapse Node, the topic has subtopics.
m

Index and Contents pages: When a selection is made from the Select product dropdown list, the values currently on the Select help system drop-down list change to reflect the help system types available for the product. After changing the product, you must select the desired help system type. If you are using a screen reader, and are in the search form or the forms to select a different help system in the Index and Contents tabs, the screen reader may use the Enter key for some purpose other than submitting the form. For example, the screen reader may use Enter to toggle Forms Mode in some contexts. If that happens, you can submit the form by using the shortcut for moving focus to the next button. If the All check box is selected in Search help for the following products, any selected product check boxes are cleared. If the All check box is selected in Search help for the following products, and then a product check box is selected, the All check box is cleared. If the All check box is selected in Search the following types of help systems, any selected help type check boxes are cleared. If the All check box is selected in Search the following types of help systems, and then a help type check box is selected, the All check box is cleared.

Note: For the shortcut keys in the following table, Online Help Keyboard Shortcuts to

work, you must install and configure Help to run locally. See Installing and Configuring Online Help in the Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System Installation and Configuration Guide for details.

Note: If a page is not reading as expected, try toggling off Forms Mode. Move focus to the toolbar frame, which contains links to various help features. Note: The toolbar includes a link to the help topic describing accessibility information for EPM Workspace.

Considerations
The following items are noteworthy for accessibility users of this release.
Note: Review the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Certification

Matrix for information about system requirements. You can find it at http:// www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/ias/downloads/fusioncertification-100350.html (under Business Intelligence).
Note: See the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management Workspace Accessibility

Guide for other accessibility considerations. In Microsoft Internet Explorer 9, the Microsoft Windows application key does not bring up the context menu for the correct item. Use the main menu to operate on selected repository objects. In Workspace Pages, after pressing Ctrl+Shift+F6 to shift focus out of an IFrame, you can tab to other controls outside the IFrame, but you cannot immediately press Ctrl+F6 to return to the IFrame. To resolve this issue, press Tab to move to another control, then Shift+Tab to bring the focus back to the IFrame, and then Ctrl+F6 to return focus to inside the IFrame. When the high-contrast theme is used, the buttons on layout areas do not have a red background when they have focus. As a result, it may be difficult to see the that these buttons have the focus. In high contrast mode with Mozilla Firefox, layout areas that don't have the focus are missing their left borders. Also, the content may be displayed in the middle of the layout area, and not aligned with the top of the layout area.

When importing Interactive Reporting (BQY) documents or jobs using the keyboard only, use the following keys to navigate through the Apply Option to All Queries list options:
m

Use ALT+DOWN to display the list Use UP and DOWN to navigate among options Use ENTER to select an option

Keyboard navigation is enabled by default in both the screen reader and non-screen reader modes for Oracle Hyperion Interactive Reporting documents in EPM Workspace. You can disable keyboard navigation when the screen reader setting is not active. To disable keyboard navigation, add the parameter: DISABLE_KEYBOARD_NAV_IN_NON_508_MODE=true to the Hyperion Interactive Reporting Service (BI) in Dynamic Service properties. For more information, see Chapter 4, Using the Administer Module of the Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Workspace, Reporting and Analysis Framework User's Guide. After selecting an item from the Home Page Recently Opened links area, the newly opened document may not get focus. For an accessibility tool to read the document, it may be necessary to set focus by using one of the EPM Workspace global navigation shortcuts (Ctrl +Y, for example) to focus on the main content area. Screen readers may not read the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management Workspace Favorites dialog title Favorites Manager Dialog when it is opened. However, focus is then available for the first favorite in the list, which will be read. Advanced element info (tooltips) for dashboards, charts, and reports is not recognized by screen readers when using Ctrl+Alt+Enter. Use Tab instead to move among dashboards, charts and reports.
