Accessibility

To assist people with disabilities SISfm includes the following aids when using desktop devices:

In Windows the Alt key (or Ctrl-Alt for Firefox) - or in macOS the Option key (or Control-Option for Firefox) - displays shortcut letters (called Key Tips) over elements such as buttons; entering those letters selecting and focussing on them (Map Enquiry top menu and information panel sections; Maintenance module top menu and work request status expansion icons, and Database Manager top menu and table and item details panels, as also used in other modules).
Alt 1, Alt 2 and Alt 3 respectively select a database table frame header, the first row of the table, and the row or item details frame header, so that Tab can be used to navigate within them; database table rows commence with small elements that can receive focus for selecting them using the Return key; if the page contains more than one of such elements, their key tips have letter suffixes, e.g. 1A, 1B, etc. (Database Manager and Maintenance modules).
Dialogs have focus set to their top-most element when launched, and the Esc key can be used to dismiss them, when focus returns to their launch button (Map Enquiry and the Maintenance module).

Dialog button status (e.g. checked, selected) is announced (Map Enquiry).

SISfm also supports touch screens, for both desktop and mobile devices.

SISfm pages have HTML <title> elements whose values are matched or further qualified by the title attributes of <iframe> elements that reference them.

SISfm includes a customisable site map page, linked from the default page header, to fulfil the accessibility Multiple Ways requirement in the case of exit from a module.

SISfm accessibility is tested using the NVDA app.

Note that some environments may support alternative ways to move the mouse pointer (e.g. by using the numeric keypad in Windows - to enable this select Settings / Ease of Access / Mouse).

Please let us know if we can further improve SISfm accessibility (even minor suggestions will be very welcome).
