Accessibility

Known limitations

• Some buttons and drop-down menus in the app have no text label for screen readers: the filter menus on the Activity Log and Compliance Posture pages, the vendor menu on the configuration upload page, the email frequency setting, the policy picker on Compare Versions, and the icon button that cancels a team invitation.
• Some grey, green and amber text in the app has less contrast than WCAG asks for, for example the times in the Activity Log and the locked rows in the policy library.
• On the policy pages, bulleted lines are not marked up as lists, so screen readers announce them wrongly.
• The monthly training calendar scrolls but cannot be reached with the keyboard.
• The charts that show your score over time have no text description.
• Some status is shown by color alone, for example the colored edge on summary tiles.
• The tabs on the Settings page are announced as tabs but do not work like tabs for screen readers.
• Some actions are icons with no visible text, for example copy, open and revoke on Audit Room cards.
• On phones, some tables are wider than the screen (the vendor list), the policy outline links are small to tap, and the chat button can cover buttons and text.
• PDF documents the app creates, such as reports and signed agreements, have not been checked with a screen reader.
