Accessibility features

The web-based interface of IBM® Performance Management is the Performance Management console. The console includes the following major accessibility features:
  • Enables users to use assistive technologies, such as screen-reader software and digital speech synthesizer, to hear what is displayed on the screen.1 Consult the product documentation of the assistive technology for details on using those technologies with this product.
  • Enables users to operate specific or equivalent features using only the keyboard.
  • Communicates all information independently of color.2

The Performance Management console uses the latest W3C Standard, WAI-ARIA 1.0 (US Section 508 , and Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 .

Interface information

The Performance Management console web user interface does not rely on cascading style sheets to render content properly and to provide a usable experience. However, the product documentation does rely on cascading style sheets. IBM Knowledge Center provides an equivalent way for low-vision users to use their custom display settings, including high-contrast mode. You can control font size by using the device or browser settings.

The Performance Management console web user interface includes WAI-ARIA navigational landmarks that you can use to quickly navigate to functional areas in the application.

The Performance Management console user interface does not have content that flashes 2 - 55 times per second.
