Use

The Accessibility Guidelines (Section 508) established in the United States are intended to enable partially sighted users to use software interfaces. In general, all texts on an interface are read out using an external tool, provided that all screen elements, such as symbols, pushbuttons and so on have been assigned quick infos.

In the context of BSP applications, you can use BSP extension HTMLB to structure interfaces with the Tag Browser.

Caution

In particular, you should think about the accessibility of BSP applications that contain tables, tabstrips and tree controls. These three types of interface elements are not always easy for Screen Reader to read out.

Integration

When developing BSP applications, you can specify whether or not you want to follow the accessibility rules.

The accessibility specification is integrated in the BSP runtime:

  1. Specify the accessibility in the following URL:
  2. ...?sap-accessibility=X

  3. Query the accessibility in the BSP runtime:

runtime->with_accessibility( ) = 'X'
Accessibility is activated.

runtime->with_accessibility( ) = 'X'
Accessibility is not activated.
