Enabling accessibility mode for users

Enable any user in Infor EAM to work in accessibility mode. In accessibility mode, the application is entirely keyboard-navigable and screen reader friendly.

Note: Although the EAM application is supported by many different internet browsers, Infor strongly recommends using Internet Explorer 11 when navigating the application in accessibility mode.

Select Administration > Security > User Setup.
Select the user record you are enabling to work in accessibility mode. The Record View tab is opened.
Click the Accessibility Mode check box.
Click Save Record.

Note: Although these changes play a big role in achieving an accessible environment, when accessibility mode is enabled, a good portion of the changes that occur in the application are not immediately noticeable by the user. The DOM or Document Object Model for Infor EAM has been significantly altered. Each field, label, tab, and link has tags injected into the rendered DOM on the screen. This allows for screen readers such as JAWS to discern between different field states, types of fields, and other on-screen objects.
To view the shortcuts available in the screen reader, see the software vendor's website, e.g., if the screen reader is JAWS, consult the JAWS application website.
