BI Publisher Catalog UI - Accessibility - Ensure reflow enabled up to 400% without loss of content

John Chan

Issue

We would expect users when magnifying all content 400% for the content to reformat so users only have to scroll horizontally and not vertically and no content is lost. But at 400% the pages reformat incorrectly so the black box and tables obscure text. There are further issues with reflow where content is cut off and lost and it is difficult to view all of the content in the BI Catalog UI.

Business Justification

The WCAG (v2.2) is an internationally recognised set of recommendations developed by the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) to make digital content—such as websites, apps, and documents—more accessible to people with disabilities.

WCAG standards are a legal accessibility requirement in the UK. Oracle products are expected to adhere fully to these standards, and the exclusion of any tool or module from compliance is not permissible.

The current position means that this item is not meeting legislative requirements, which is a significant compliance concern.

Oracle are aware of the accessibility failings with BI Publisher and will look into resolving these in the future. As part of this process, UoE, Oracle Accessibility team and Oracle CSS will log a number of ERs and have regular customer with UoE on progress.
