  • Application Help will be stored primarily in Hermes (http://kb.mit.edu)
  • When linking to help in Hermes use the Short link, e.g. http://kb.mit.edu/confluence/x/2gTn not the Full link
    • This is to protect against the article / title changing in the future which affects the Full link but not the Short link.
  • Launch application help window a smaller, less overwhelming window (50% sized) with no ‘chrome’ (no navigation menu, no status bar at bottom).
    • Here’s the ABAP code:

         lv_url = 'http://kb.mit.edu/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=3902416'.    "change url to your app-specific help page
         lo_window = lo_window_mg->create_external_window( url = lv_url
               modal = abap_true
               has_menubar = abap_false
               is_resizable = abap_true
               has_scrollbars = abap_true
               has_statusbar = abap_false
               has_toolbar = abap_false
               has_location = abap_false
               ).
         lo_window->set_window_size( width = '600px'
               height = '800px' ).
         lo_window->set_window_position(
               left = 400
               top = 100 ).
       
  • For now, point to Production Hermes help file URLs.
    • Mike Berger will check with Alison Bell re: release process for Hermes content, viability of pointing to non-Prod content (esp for new apps)
  • Open issue regarding browser and pop-up blockers

Unit Testing Procedures

  • A copy of JAWS screen reader software has been installed in the W92 QA test lab for use by WDA developers and QA.  This will allow basic unit testing of individual WDA components and screens.  It is not a replacement for full Accessibility testing by the IS&T Accessibility team.
  • You can also install a demo version of JAWS on your own machine by downloading it from Freedom Scientific at http://freedomscientific.com/products/fs/jaws-product-page.asp** If you will be doing frequent testing with JAWS and want the fully licensed version, see Kevin Lyons or Mary Ziegler for instructions on tying to MIT's license server.
    • Here are the recommended settings when using JAWS with SAP Portal products (click to open doc) (info) .  For example
      • For JAWS to work in WD4A, Virtual PC cursor must be turned off.
  • SAP provides a Navigating with HotKeys doc (click here to open doc) (info) to help navigate a screen via keyboard.
