1194.21 Software Applications and Operating Systems

Criteria Supporting Features Remarks and Explanations(a) When software is designed to run on a systemthat has a keyboard, product functions shall beexecutable from a keyboard where the functionitself or the result of performing a function can bediscerned textually.

Supports:

A keyboard can be used to achieve all tasksin the application, allowing blind andmobility-impaired users to accessinformation without the use of the mouse.

The following components meet this criterion: IBM Cognos Analytics 11.0.2, 11.0.3,11.0.4, 11.0.5: All functionality of thecontent is operable through a keyboardinterface without requiring specifictimings for individual keystrokes. Thisis not a requirement where theunderlying function requires input thatdepends on the path of the user'smovement and not just the endpoints. Iffocus can be moved to a componentusing a keyboard interface, then focuscan be moved away from thatcomponent using only a keyboardinterface, and, if it requires more thanunmodified arrow or tab keys, the useris advised of the method for movingfocus away.
