SAS Text Miner includes accessibility and compatibility features
that improve usability of the product for users with disabilities.
These features are related to accessibility standards for electronic
information technology adopted by the U.S. Government under Section
508 of the U.S. Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended. SAS Text Miner
supports Section 508 standards except as noted in the following table.
Section 508 Accessibility
Criterion
|
|
|
When software is designed
to run on a system that has a keyboard, product functions shall be
executable from a keyboard where the function itself or the result
of performing a function can be discerned textually.
|
Supported with exceptions.
|
The software supports
keyboard equivalents for all user actions with the exceptions noted
below:
The keyboard equivalent
for exposing the system menu is not the Windows standard Alt + spacebar.
The system menu can be exposed using the following shortcut keys:
(1) Primary window — Shift + F10 + spacebar, or (2) Secondary
window — Shift + F10 + down key.
The Explore action in
the data source pop-up menu cannot be invoked directly from the keyboard,
but there is an alternative way to invoke the data source explorer
using the View Explorer menu.
|
Color coding shall not
be used as the only means of conveying information, indicating an
action, prompting a response, or distinguishing a visual element.
|
Supported with exception.
|
Node run
or failure indication relies on color, but there is also a corresponding
pop-up message in a dialog box that indicates node success or failure.
