APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
If you invoke the Select a form field window by using the JAWS screen reader (Insert + F5 by default) when you view a coach page in a browser, you might experience some of the fields' labels (provided by Coach stock controls) displaying incorrectly. For example, the Select control label might display as Unlabelled1 instead of the static label that it was assigned at design time. PRODUCTS AFFECTED: IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) Advanced IBM BPM Standard IBM BPM Express
Local fix
JAWS is highly configurable and allows for custom labels to be identified for pages and shared among users: http://www.freedomscientific.com/Training/Surfs-Up/Custom_Labels .htm You can use this configuration to display user-defined labels for a coach page to work around this issue.
