Accessibility

Edit online

Accessibility features help users with physical disabilities, such as restricted mobility or limited vision, to use software products successfully. OMEGAMON monitoring products support several user interfaces. Product functionality and accessibility features vary according to the interface.

The major accessibility features in this product enable users in the following ways:
  • Use assistive technologies, such as screen-reader software and digital speech synthesizer, to hear what is displayed on the screen. Consult the product documentation of the assistive technology for details on using those technologies with this product.
  • Operate specific or equivalent features using only the keyboard.
  • Magnify what is displayed on the screen.
In addition, the product documentation was modified to include the following features to aid accessibility:
  • All documentation is available in both HTML and convertible PDF formats to give the maximum opportunity for users to apply screen-reader software.
  • All images in the documentation are provided with alternative text so that users with vision impairments can understand the contents of the images.

Interface information

The Tivoli Enterprise Portal interface offers the greatest range of functionality, but is not entirely accessible. The OMEGAMON enhanced 3270 user interface offers more limited functionality, but is entirely accessible. (The enhanced 3270 user interface supports all the accessibility features supported by your emulator. If you are using IBM Personal Communications, you can find information on its accessibility features at Using Emulator Sessions. If you are using a third-party emulator, see the documentation for that product for accessibility information.)

The OMEGAMON Classic interface uses an ISPF style interface. Standard and custom PF Key settings, menu options, and command-line interface options allow for short cuts to commonly viewed screens. While basic customization options allow for highlights and other eye-catcher techniques to be added to the interface, the customization options are limited.
