IBM SmartCloud Application Performance Management, Version 7.7.0.1

Accessibility

The UI provides many accessibility features to help users with physical disabilities.

Response time

Users can turn off, adjust, or extend all time limits that are not real-time, essential, or 20-hour exceptions.

IBM® Dashboard Application Services Hub provides a session timeout time limit. Use the following command to extend or adjust the session timeout parameter:

Windows systems:: %TIPProfile_Home%\bin>configSesTimeOut.bat %TIPProfile_Home% isc %time-out-minutes%

AIX® or Linux systems:: $TIPProfile_Home/bin>./configSesTimeOut.sh $TIPProfile_Home isc $time-out-minutes

Restart the IBM Dashboard Application Services Hub server by using the following commands:

Windows systems:: server.bat start scrderby; server.bat start scr; server.bat start apmui

AIX or Linux systems:: server.sh start scrderby; server.sh start scr; server.sh start apmui

There is an edit lock timeout time limit in the UI. Users can continue to edit settings after the timeout time limit, but other users can occupy the edit lock after the timeout time limit.

Users can pause, stop, or hide information, unless it is an essential part of an activity. Users can pause, stop, or hide moving, flashing, scrolling, or auto-updating information. Data is auto-refreshed every 5 minutes in the UI. This activity is essential and cannot be paused, stopped, or hidden.

Browsing the interface with the keyboard

You can use the keyboard to access all functions of the interface in the following ways:

You can press Tab or Shift + Tab to move forward or backward among elements on the page.
To perform a clicking operation, put focus on the element that you want to click by pressing Tab, or Shift + Tab, then press Space or Enter.
When you want to add an application, or edit an application, use the Up arrow, or Down arrow to navigate in the Application resource tree.
When a tooltip with a Close button or an X icon is displayed, press Tab to put focus on the Close button or the X icon, then press Space or Enter to close the tooltip.
When a tooltip or without a Close button or an X icon is displayed, press Esc to close the tooltip.

Flashing below threshold

Web pages do not contain anything that flashes more than three times in any 1-second period. Otherwise, the flash is below the general flash and red flash thresholds.

All UI pages are designed to avoid causing the screen to flicker with a frequency greater than 2 Hz and lower than 55 Hz.

Installer

When you use the product installation program, keyboard equivalents are provided for all actions:

Use Tab to move focus and use Space or Enter to perform a click action.
When the focus is on the object or control, use the Up arrow or Down arrow to perform a select action.
Use Alt and hot keys (capital letter with underscore) at the same time to perform a button click action.

Keyboard access does not interfere with keyboard accessibility features built into the operating system:

Sticky keys: Multiple key stroke sequences can be activated by pressing and releasing each key sequentially.
Filter keys: Only one letter is displayed on the screen when you press and hold a key.
Toggle keys: An audio tone sounds when you press the Caps Lock, Number Lock, and Scroll Lock keys.
Mouse keys: The mouse pointer can be moved with the arrow keys.
High contrast: The display is reformatted to the high contrast scheme.

Visual focus indicator

When you use the keyboard to move between objects and controls, a focus indicator is always visible.

Screen readers can follow the keyboard focus as you move between objects and controls in the current window.
