Accessibility Features

Accessibility features help users who have a physical disability, such as restricted mobility or limited vision, to use information technology products. Because the IBM Cognos Administration component supports a wide range of IBM Cognos components, the availability of accessibility features varies by component within IBM Cognos Administration.

In IBM Cognos Administration, you can enable system-wide settings to create accessible report output. For more information, see Enable Accessible Report Output Using System-wide Settings.

IBM Cognos HTML documentation has accessibility features. PDF documents are supplemental and, as such, include no added accessibility features.
