Oracle Analytics Classic to be fully accessible

Helen O'Donnell - NHS Business Services Authority

This request is for the collapsible content to be removed from accessibility mode and for all accessible features to be included in the standard OAC Classic by default. Having a separate accessibility mode (which users are likely unaware of) makes the accessibility mode inaccessible.

There should not be an accessibility mode. All the accessible features within the mode should be added to the main OAC system. There should not be a main web page that is inaccessible and a separate accessible version of the same content, because people with disabilities should get equal access to that content on the same page. Also, users who need the accessibility mode may not know that it exists, or consider themselves to be needing accessibility mode - the features and the page should be made accessible by default.

Some additional issues with accessibility mode:

• You have to refresh your screen for the mode to start, which again users would be unaware of
• The mode is difficult to access, and hard to find.
• You wouldn't know what the 'default' status mentioned is - is this the mode being on?
• When you refresh your screen, the same dashboard does not appear (you have to select it again)
• With accessibility mode on, the content is all in collapsible sections. This is inaccessible and creates additional spacing between content, throwing off the layout of the page
