Oracle Accessibility Conformance Report

VPAT® Version 2.3 - April 2019

Name of Product:

Oracle BI Composer 2023.01

Product Description:

BI Composer is a simple-to-use wizard that allows you to quickly and easily create, edit, or view analyses without the complexities of the BI Analysis editor. There are two modes in which BI Composer is available in an application such as Oracle Analytics

Regular mode
Accessibility mode

Accessibility mode has the same functionality as regular mode but is optimized for use with screen reader applications such as JAWS. It makes it easier for users with accessibility issues, such as visual impairments, to create, edit, and view analyses.

Date:

14-Dec-2022

Contact Information:

accessible_ww@oracle.com

Notes:

This ACR does not cover the following product areas:

Administrative functions (e.g. privilege control)
PDF Documentation

A user can choose the accessibility mode at the login time or by navigating to user preference settings. Once accessibility mode is on, BI Composer is the default when browsing or viewing any Analysis.

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
