Enabling Accessible Report Output
Accessible reports contain features, such as
alternate text, that allow users with disabilities to access report
content using assistive technologies, such as screen readers.
In IBM® Cognos® applications, you can create accessible output for reports, jobs, steps within jobs, and scheduled entries in PDF, HTML, and Microsoft Excel spreadsheet software 2007 format.
Accessible reports require more report processing and have a greater file size than non-accessible reports. Consequently, making reports accessible can have a negative impact on performance.
