Use Accessibility Features
Accessibility features help users who have a disability, such as restricted mobility or limited vision, to use information technology products successfully.
The following list includes the major accessibility features in IBM FileNet Connector for Sharepoint Web Parts:
- Keyboard-only operation
- Interfaces that are commonly used by screen readers
Keyboard navigation
More accessible mode
Additional accessibility features can be enabled by clicking the "Turn on more accessible mode" link which is the first object at the top of the Sharepoint page.
To activate More accessible mode:
- Type Ctrl+Home to go to the top of the page.
- Type Tab to go to the "Turn on more accessible mode" link.
- Type Enter to activate the link.
The following features are enabled in more accessible mode:
- Context menus will appear as a page in a new browser window. Each menu item appears as an html link. This feature makes it easier to read the menu selections with a screen reader and makes it easier for the user to navigate through the menu items. To open the context menu:
- When reading the page, any object that has an associated context menu will be indicated by the screen reader prompting you to use Shift+Enter to open the menu.
- Tab to the object. When the object has focus, type Shift+Enter.
- Error messages will appear in a new browser window. This feature allows you to be immediately informed when an error occurs and allows you to read the error message without having to search for it on the current page.
Skip to main content
Sharepoint features a skip to main content command which allows you to bypass the Sharepoint navigation frame and go directly to the IBM FileNet web parts. To skip to the main content type Alt+J. This command should work regardless of which part of the page currently has focus. It will take you to the first web part on the page.
Additional features
The content of IBM FileNet Connector for Sharepoint Web Parts is in HTML and can be navigated using the screen reader’s HTML tools and quick keys.
All documents and work items that are displayed in the web part appear as html links. To quickly navigate to the document or work item you want, use your screen reader’s links list feature. With most screen readers, when the links list is activated, you can go directly to the document you want by typing the first letter in the document name.
