Caution Caution

The declarations about accessibility in the SAP disclaimers apply in particular to all accessibility documentation.

End of the caution.

The primary audience for this document is visually impaired SAP users and/or SAP users with motor impairments, and also administrators (responsible for both clients and servers). It includes information for users who use assistive technology, as well as for users who do not use it but do require full keyboard access.

Implementation Considerations

To enable accessible use of SAP applications, you must meet the following software requirements:

  • SAP GUI for Windows 7.10 or higher (standard GUI for applications based on the ABAP / Dynpro environment).

    This requires you to configure the accessibility mode.

  • · Windows 2000 or Windows XP

  • Microsoft Internet Explorer 6

  • To display SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe, you require the newest version of Adobe Reader. Information about the Adobe Reader configuration required for previewing forms is available in SAP Note 989147.

  • Information about screen readers is available in SAP Note 1139953.

    By exposing the SAP GUI object model, SAP has met the technical requirements for screen readers to work together with SAP GUI for Windows.

    Caution Caution

    SAP does not itself provide the user with any of the assistive technology (for example, screen readers, screen magnifiers, and dedicated hardware resources) required for working in accessibility mode.

    End of the caution.
