Strict Accessibility

Strict Accessibility enforces strict accessibility rules for compliance for WCAG and accessbility compliance, but may result in some reduced user experience for users that don't need accessibility improved. The main change is that labels become tab stops on forms, but other changes apply in tables and grids and some other parts of the forms.

Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) Overview

Configure Strict Accessibility

Strict accessibility is available in Manage by setting: Settings -> Default -> Default Strict accessibility.

In addition the default can be overridden by an Admin for each user in Manage -> Users, by the user themselves in 'Produce -> User profile` or via the API.

The default for any new site is for Strict Accessibility to be OFF.

New users inherit the Manage Default settings value at the time of creation unless it is otherwise specified in the creation process (eg: can be specified when creating a user via the API)

Temporary users inherit the Manage Default settings value at the time of creation.

Accessibility note - Safari

By default the Safari browser allows users to navigate through a limited subset of page elements with the tab key. (In particular, Produce page elements like the left-hand page navigation menu, and the form back/next/save buttons are excluded from navigation).

Full access to page elements in Safari is possible either by using Option+tab to cycle through elements, or by changing the setting at Preferences -> Advanced -> Use Tab to highlight each item on a webpage
