Building an accessible UI
Build a UI that supports a more inclusive approach to users with disabilities.
Accessibility features take advantage of ARIA roles that provide additional information
about your application to assistive technologies, such as screen readers.
Accessibility and Pega Platform Pega Platform uses the Accessible Rich Internet Application (ARIA) roles to support accessibility. WAI-ARIA roles are a World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) ontology that specifies roles, states, or properties for each element. WAI-ARIA roles provide semantic information about features, structures, and behaviors allowing assistive technologies to convey information to users. Enabling accessibility PegaWAI ruleset is not present, import it from ResourceKit/AccessibilityFramework of the full Pega Platform distribution (not from an update distribution): Accessibility features Pega Platform uses the WAI-ARIA technical specification to improve the accessibility and interoperability of web content. This extends the semantic information necessary to make content accessible to people with disabilities - for example, those who rely on screen readers or who cannot use a pointing device, such as a mouse. WAI-ARIA Roles Pega Platform supports accessibility through the use of Accessible Rich Internet Application (WAI-ARIA) roles. The WAI-ARIA role indicates the type of content or functionality within the dynamic layout. Roles may be added to a dynamic layout specify the role of the dynamic layout. By default, WAI-ARIA roles are assigned to screen layouts and dynamic containers.Accessibility Inspector Setting PDF file versions
