Accessibility features for DOORS

Accessibility features assist users who have a disability, such as restricted mobility or limited vision, to use information technology content successfully.

Accessibility features

IBM® Engineering Requirements Management DOORS® (DOORS) includes the following major accessibility features:
  • Keyboard-only operation
  • Operations that use a screen reader
  • Display scheme control

DOORS uses the latest W3C Standard, WAI-ARIA 1.0 (http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria/), to ensure compliance to US Section 508 (http://www.access-board.gov/guidelines-and-standards/communications-and-it/about-the-section-508-standards/section-508-standards), and Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 (http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/). To take advantage of accessibility features, use the latest release of your screen reader in combination with the latest web browser that is supported by this product.

Keyboard navigation

This product uses standard navigation keys.

DOORS uses the following keyboard shortcuts.

Interface information

The DOORS web user interfaces rely on cascading style sheets to render content properly and to provide a usable experience. The application provides an equivalent way for low-vision users to use a user’s system display settings, including high-contrast mode. You can control font size by using the device or web browser settings. To change the color, font, and other elements in the user interface, see Setting your display scheme.

The DOORS user interfaces do not have content that flashes 2 - 55 times per second.

The DOORS web user interface includes WAI-ARIA navigational landmarks that you can use to quickly navigate to functional areas in the application.
