10.5 Designing Reports for Section 508 Compliance
Consider the following points when designing reports for compliance with Section 508 of the federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973.
• Set the 'Tooltip' property for all Image elements.
• Set the 'Tooltip' property for all Form Elements.
• Do not convey information solely by using color. Augment color cues with other visual cues or text.
• Avoid complex table structures such as those created with Formula Tables. Complex tables may not be representable to users in an accessible manner.
• Avoid using components that cause the screen to flicker. For example, do not use animated images or background color changes with frequencies between 4Hz and 59Hz.
• Use Heading numbering in reports to comply with PDF export accessibility requirements.
• Set the 'Title' property for the report (under the Document Info tab of the 'Report Properties' dialog box).
