| 504.3 Prompts | Supports | We mandate certain accessibility related attributes when building applications (for example page titles, region titles, and button labels). The developer is responsible for ensuring the text provided is appropriate and meaningful. Oracle APEX includes a built-in tool called the Advisor, which can be run by developers as part of quality assurance of an application. To help with other non-mandatory attributes defined by a developer, the Advisor includes a set of accessibility checks to highlight possible common accessibility problems (for example page items with no labels, or page regions with no row headers defined). The developer should review and fix such problems as part of their ongoing development process. We recommend to fix issues identified by the Advisor before doing other accessibility testing, for example testing with Assistive Technologies. |
| 504.4 Templates | Supports | Developers should use the default 'Universal Theme' when building applications. This theme contains templates for different component types, which have been accessibility tested. In addition, developers can select different 'Theme Styles' for styling their applications in different ways. Theme Styles are labelled as being 'Accessibility Tested' if they have undergone accessibility testing. The default 'Vita' is accessibility tested. |
