Accessibility Features of AppDev Studio

SAS AppDev Studio Eclipse 4.4 Plug-ins includes accessibility and compatibility features that improve the usability of the product for users with disabilities. These features are related to accessibility standards for electronic information technology that were adopted by the U.S. Government under Section 508 of the U.S. Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended. However, portions of the AppDev Studio interface are implemented using Java controls, and do not always comply with Section 508 guidelines.
Notable exceptions include:
  • In some cases, screen-reading technology is unable to read text, read field labels in the correct order, or read only the text that is currently visible.
  • The color of the text in the Help window of the AppDev Studio Configuration Tool cannot be changed.
  • The portlet editor does not scroll vertically via keyboard controls.
