Name of Product:

PeopleSoft Enterprise Interaction Hub (July 2023 revision) 9.1x

Product Description:

PeopleSoft Interaction Hub Applications are a suite of web-based enterprise software business products that provide comprehensive, core, and strategic portal features. The suite of products are designed to support portal(web) requirements and can be deployed either on-premise or in the cloud. PeopleSoft Interaction Hub includes both a Classic/Classic Plus UI which is non-responsive and Fluid UI which is based on responsive as well as adaptive design. This ACR covers both the Classic/Classic Plus and Fluid forms of the UI. This ACR summarizes the PeopleSoft Enterprise Interaction Hub Applications version 9.1x and is dependent on the PeopleSoft Enterprise PeopleTools ACR.

Notes:

This ACR does not cover the following product areas:

Theme builder is a guided process built using the PeopleSoft Fluid framework where a customer can create branding for Interaction Hub (IH) and specific roles. Alternate mechanisms exist through classic functionality where a customer can achieve an equivalent level of branding.
Guest and IH Administrator Landing pages are alternative versions of Classic PIA pages. The Classic PIA pages provide equivalent functionality in comparison to the landing pages, however the Classic PIA pages provide an alternative accessible means of identical content and functionality. The Guest and IH Administrator Landing pages are not covered by this ACR.
Oracle Help Center, Library Version.
Product Documentation in PDF format.
De-supported Classic/Classic Plus and Fluid Features as indicated in the Lifetime Support Policy for PeopleSoft Features found in the Application Support Notes on My Oracle Support.

Screen Reader Mode is configured in PeopleSoft products on a per user basis. With PeopleTools, there are a variety of methods which can be used to enable Screen Reader Mode. The first method is at sign-on, where the user can select a checkbox directly on the sign-on page to enable Screen Reader Mode. The second method allows each individual user to configure the User Interface (UI) mode in which they operate, whether it is Standard User Mode or Screen Reader Mode. The UI mode is set via the user preferences in PeopleTools Personalizations. To set Screen Reader Mode user preferences, the user navigates to 'My Personalizations' and then selects 'Personalize General Options.' The next step is to set the Accessibility Features Personalization Option to 'Use Screen Reader Mode'. The third method allows a user to activate Screen Reader Mode via the 'Actions' menu on the homepage on a one-time basis or a recurring basis. If a recurring basis is selected, the the user preference for Screen Reader Mode is saved in 'My Personalizations' and will persist for subsequent logins.

There is a section in the document "PeopleSoft Enterprise PeopleTools 8.60 Online Help: Accessibility Guide" titled "Setting Up PeopleSoft Accessibility Features" that further explains the steps to configure Screen Reader mode in the application.

Evaluation Methods Used:

Oracle's policy is to design, develop and test both products and documentation to be accessible. The recommended styles of testing for accessibility include: (i) algorithmic automated tests, (ii) human judgement tests such as tool-assisted tests, visual inspection and manual operation, and (iii) testing with assistive technology by people with and without disabilities. Additional information about Oracle's accessibility program is available on http://www.oracle.com/corporate/accessibility/index.html
