Limitations And Alternatives
Despite our best efforts to ensure accessibility of mySidewalk Shared Documents, there may be some limitations. Below is a description of known limitations, and potential solutions. Please contact us if you observe an issue not listed below.
Known limitations:
Inline Data Tables provided by FancyGrid: Aria role attributes are not properly applied to the cells of the FancyGrid table. The table can be downloaded as a CSV or Excel and includes an accessibility description. We rely on a complex third party component with functions closer to "software" than a "website" for this content but are working with the third party developer to improve the accessibility features of the Inline Data Tables provided by FancyGrid. Please use the download buttons directly beneath the table for more direct use of the data.
Assessment Approach
mySidewalk Inc. assessed the accessibility of mySidewalk Shared Documents using the following:
Self-evaluation
Automated evaluation: pa11y
Automated evaluation: lighthouse
Automated evaluation: WAVE
Evaluation Report
In order to evaluate the accessibility of mySidewalk, Inc’s Shared Documents, we assembled a document with every possible component configuration in every possible organization/navigation configuration. This is a three page document with ~20 component configurations in 4 organization/navigation configurations. Linked below are relevant automated audits of this representative Shared Document along with descriptions of the results.
Lighthouse Automated Reports - Perfect scores on all configurations, including optional suggestions
Pa11y Automated Reports - 3 false positives
1 false positive for an inactive internal chat tool
1 false positive error per chart regarding a reference to a missing element
Third party library includes a link to an optional data table that is not created until clicked. This is a desired optimization with less overhead for the client browser.1 false positive error per chart regarding missing text in a heading
Third party library includes a heading with no text. The element is visually hidden and has appropriate text for accessibility devices only. Pa11y has a different interpretation than the third-party library of WCAG 2.0 Guideline Principle 1 Guideline 3.1.
