Accessible report authoring

Creating accessible reports ensures access of information to all users, with all levels of ability. To support the use of accessibility features, report authors can add alternate and summary text for images, charts, and tables, define table and other headings, associate labels with prompt controls, and add conditional layouts.

When you build accessibility into a report, you can test and check the output by using a run option to include accessibility features. This run option is handy for authors that don't have their user preference set to turn on accessibility features. For more information, see Showing accessible report output in IBM Cognos Analytics - Reporting.

If you want to schedule an accessible report to run and save output that's accessible, you set the report’s properties to enable accessibility features. A user of accessibility features can then consume the saved output for that report.
