This product includes features that allow merchandisers to author text to be displayed on the Oracle Commerce Cloud Service Storefront and in the Oracle Commerce Agent Console. The product uses CKEditor to provide this functionality, and thus incorporates CKEditor's accessibility features for content authoring.

See WCAG 2.0 section.

The product does not convert file formats.

The product does not generate PDF exports.

The product does not yet support this guideline.

The product provides customizable "widgets" that display text, images, and forms on the Oracle Commerce Cloud Service Storefront and the Oracle Commerce Agent Console Cloud Service. Customers can use the widgets to create content that conforms to WCAG 2.0 AA. 

"Using Oracle Commerce Cloud" contains a chapter, "Accessibility Tasks," explaining how to navigate the user interface using keyboard shortcuts. The product's compatibility with assistive technology is available out of the box, with no action needed on the user's part, except in the Reports area. The Reports area of the product uses Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition (OBIEE), which has an accessibility mode. The document "Using Oracle Commerce Cloud Reports" explains how to turn on OBIEE's accessibility mode, and includes a link to OBIEE documentation that describes OBIEE's accessibility features.

Product documentation is available in electronic format.
