SAS® Visual Analytics (hereafter the software) empowers decision makers with business reports and dashboards anywhere, anytime. SAS Visual Analytics App, part of the SAS Visual Analytics product family, enables you to view and interact with reports that can contain a variety of charts, graphs, gauges, tables, and other report objects.
For information regarding the accessibility features of the software, see SAS Visual Analytics App for iOS: Accessibility Features.
The software was not evaluated against WCAG AAA success criteria
The software is not part of a closed system
SAS Visual Analytics is an authoring tool. It enables users to analyze data, author reports and view reports. The scope of this VPAT is limited to viewing reports with the Visual Analytics App for iOS. For more information see the separate VPAT for SAS Visual Analytics that covers analyzing data and authoring reports. For guidelines on how to author accessible reports, see Creating Accessible Reports Using SAS Visual Analytics
This VPAT covers accessibility of the user interface of the software as well as the report content that authors create. Where criteria are listed below as supported, this means that:
- The user interface of the Visual Analytics app meets the criterion, and
- Report authors can create report content that meets the criterion by following the guidelines in Creating Accessible Reports Using SAS Visual Analytics. Otherwise, the criterion is listed as partially supported or not supported.
The software does not contain multimedia content, other than video-only content. Criteria related to multimedia, other than WCAG 1.2.1, are not applicable.
Keyboard related criteria assume VoiceOver is in use, and all references to keyboard and associated behavior relates to VoiceOver and its cursor.
The software is a mobile application. The following standards and guidelines are included in the VPAT. All other standards and guidelines are not applicable.
