In today\u2019s digital landscape, accessibility is a critical component of any user experience. PeopleSoft has taken an important step forward with its latest Accessibility Help feature, designed to make PeopleSoft applications easier to navigate and more inclusive for users of all abilities. This feature builds on PeopleSoft\u2019s existing accessibility functions, adding new tools to support users who rely on assistive technology or require a more accessible interface.<\/p>\n

Keyboard Shortcuts<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Many users prefer to navigate with the keyboard rather than a mouse, and PeopleSoft\u2019s Accessibility Help icon provides quick access to a list of keyboard shortcuts. These shortcuts allow users to move around the application with minimal effort, making navigation faster and more efficient.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Additional Accessibility Help Information<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Accessibility Help page also includes custom help information configured by administrators. This content can provide users with further guidance on making the most of PeopleSoft\u2019s accessibility options, or instructions for navigating specific features of the application.<\/p>\n

Rich Text Editor for Content Customization<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Using a rich text editor, administrators can customize the content displayed on the Accessibility Help page, adding images, formatted text, or other elements to make the information more engaging and informative. This flexibility enables organizations to create a help resource that meets their unique requirements, fostering an accessible environment across the entire PeopleSoft application.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Small-Form-Factor Accessibility: Help Button on the Homepage<\/strong><\/h3>\n

To accommodate users on smaller devices, PeopleSoft has ensured that the Accessibility Help button is accessible on the homepage for small-form-factor devices, like smartphones and tablets. This design choice prioritizes accessibility for users on the go, ensuring that they can still access all the help features they need, regardless of device.<\/p>\n
