SAS IT Resource Management addresses several areas of 508 compliance:
  • Software accessibility compliance applies to software.
    In SAS IT Resource Management, software accessibility compliance applies to the SAS Data Integration Studio user interface. SAS IT Resource Management uses the functionality of SAS Data Integration Studio for data manipulation functions. As such it has the same accessibility features as that product. For information about these features, see SAS Data Integration Studio: User's Guide.
  • Windows accessibility compliance applies to Windows applications, such as SAS Enterprise Guide and SAS Add-In for Microsoft Office.
    SAS Enterprise Guide conforms to accessibility standards for the Windows platform. In addition, SAS Enterprise Guide has keyboard shortcuts for the following areas: the Import Data task, the main workspace, menus, the project tree, a process flow, the properties window for an object, and the code editor. For more information, see the Keyboard Shortcuts in the Help for SAS Enterprise Guide.
    You can also use keyboard navigation to navigate through the options in a drop-down list by pressing ALT and the up and down arrow keys.
    In some instances, you can use the Enable accessibility features option to enable additional accessibility features in the task windows and the windows that appear when you run a stored process. This option is available from the Options dialog box.
  • Web accessibility compliance applies to browser-based content and Web-based applications, such as SAS Web Report Studio, SAS ID Portal, SAS BI Dashboard.
