Notes:

This ACR does not cover the following product areas:

The product contains an authoring tool that allows the author to design forms such as for permits or business licenses. While the content produced from the authoring tool is accessible, the content designer itself is excluded.
The product integrates to a third party rendering tool, ESRI, to display maps.
The product provides Chatbot/Digital Assistants which are an alternative to the UI.
BI Publisher reports are intended for printing purposes only.
Product Documentation in PDF format.
The product utilizes process automation in Oracle Integration Cloud.

Oracle Permitting and Licensing has a single run time mode for the user interface. The single run time mode ensures a more consistent approach to the user interface regardless of whether the user is utilizing a screen reader, keyboard, high contrast, zoom, or large fonts mode. There are specific keystrokes for a number of operations within the application. For information on keystrokes and on accessibility in the product, review the Using Accessibility Features chapters in the Oracle Permitting and Licensing documentation.
