Accessible Mode is configured in PeopleSoft products on a per user basis. With PeopleTools 8.55, there are a variety of methods which can be used to enable accessibility mode. The first method is at sign-on, where the user can select a checkbox directly on the sign-on page to enable accessible mode. The second method allows each individual user to configure the User Interface (UI) mode in which they operate, whether it be standard user mode or accessible user mode. The UI mode is set via the user preferences in PeopleTools Personalizations. To set accessible 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 Accessible Layout'.
There is a section in the document "Enterprise PeopleTools 8.55 PeopleBook: PeopleSoft Accessibility Guide" titled "Setting Up PeopleSoft Accessibility Features" that further explains the steps to configure accessibility mode in the application.
