Accessibility Standards and SAS Workflow Studio

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. SAS Workflow Studio supports Section 508 standards except as noted in the following table.

Not all user settings are inherited when applied from a theme.

Enabling Assistive Technologies

For assistive technologies based on Windows to interoperate with SAS desktop applications that are based on Java, you must download the Java Access Bridge (JAB) from Oracle Corporation. See the SAS website at http://www.sas.com/industry/government/java.html for more information.
