Recent Accessibility Improvements

Consistent with our commitment to accessibility, the following accessibility improvements and functionalities have been released recently:

The Kyvos Viewer module now adheres to WCAG 2.1 Level A and AA guidelines.

• Accessibility in Kyvos Viz. charts

  • Supported the following in Kyvos Viz. for table

    • Keyboard Navigation:  

      • Users can navigate across table elements using the tab key and arrow keys.

• Name, Role, Value A 4.1.2: 
  For all user interface components (including but not limited to form elements, links, and components generated by scripts), the name and role can be programmatically determined; states, properties, and values that the user can set can be programmatically set; and notification of changes to these items is available to user agents, including assistive technologies. 

  • ARIA labels, descriptions, roles, states, and properties to expose information about the component. 

  • ARIA enhances accessibility only when HTML is not sufficient. 

  • Role attribute on HTML elements wherever needed. 

  • All form controls and other interactive elements have an accessible name. 

• Identify Input Purpose Level AA (1.3.5):
  All the input form controls are defined with the type attribute. 

• Label in name Level A (2.5.3):

    • Aria Label and Role (Name, Role, Value A 4.1.2) :  

      • Chart elements have role and aria-label attributes. These are used by assistive technologies to enhance accessibility. 

    • Tooltip: 

      • All the charts have textual information about the chart on the tooltip. 

      • Tooltips will be visible to users when the chart element is focused using the tab key. 

Non-text Content:
All non-text content that includes active images (image links), area maps, informative images, complex charts and graphs, CSS images, decorative images, input image controls, CAPTCHA, audio, and video content now have text alternatives.

1. HTML code order and visual appearance reading order in the same logical order.

2. Focus on each interactive element by tab key in logical order. 

Sensory Characteristics: 
Instructions provided for understanding and operating content should not rely solely on sensory characteristics of components such as shape, color, size, visual location, orientation, or sound.  Legend icons now come with more than one characteristic, like shape, color, and text, to provide a clear understanding. 

Identify Input Purpose: 
Users can understand all the input type meanings by assistive devices. All users, but particularly those with cognitive impairments, benefit from programmatically determinable input fields. These allow assistive technologies to understand the purpose of fields and present them in a preferred format to the user.

Text Spacing: 

1. Line height (line spacing) is set to at least 1.5 times the font size.

2. The tooltip does not disappear automatically if a pointer or focus exists within. 

3. The tooltip is dismissible using the Esc key. 

4. The tooltip disappears automatically if the mouse pointer or focus moves out from the element. 

Error Identification: 
If an input error is automatically detected, the item that has an error is identified, and the error is described to the user in the form of text.   

1. All the input elements have a consistent error style for showing errors. 

2. Error information is shown in the form of text.
