Section 508 Accessibility Criterion
Support Status
Explanation
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 Viewthen select 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.
