Accessibility

Accessibility features help a user who has a physical disability, such as restricted mobility or limited vision, to use software products successfully.

You can perform most tasks required to set up, run, and maintain your CICSPlex® SM system in one of these ways:

IBM® Personal Communications (Version 5.0.1 for Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT and Windows 2000; version 4.3 for OS/2) provides 3270 emulation with accessibility features for people with disabilities. You can use this product to provide the accessibility features you need in your CICSPlex SM system.

As well as supporting the standard shortcut keys provided on your web browser, the CICSPlex SM Web Use Interface incorporates several features to make navigation easier:

Skip to main content link
This is a link that moves the cursor to the start of the main content. It is located immediately after the title in all menus and links except for View Editor screens.
Go back icon
This makes the browser display the previous menu or view. It is available on both work frames and assistance frames.
Accessibility options
These are server initialization parameters controlling the color of screen elements. These allow you to customize the interface to make it more accessible for the visually impaired.

In addition, the View Editor is a powerful tool allowing you to create customized views with screen content designed to match the needs of individual users. See Customizing the Web User Interface for guidance.
