<h2>5. Summary&nbsp;and Recommended Actions</h2>
 
 
 
<h3><strong>Results for Level 1 (A):</strong></h3>
 
 
 
<p>There are <strong>18</strong> checks in total for Level 1</p>
 
 
 
<p><span style="color:#008000"><strong>14</strong></span> are fully met. <span style="color:#daa520"><strong>4</strong></span> are partially met.</p>
 
 
 
<p>In all the 5 cases that are partially or not meeting the success criteria, can be easily implemented.</p>
 
 
 
<h3><strong>Results for Level 2 (AA):</strong></h3>
 
 
 
<p>There are <strong>15</strong> checks in total for Level 2</p>
 
 
 
<p><span style="color:#008000"><strong>9</strong></span> are fully met. <span style="color:#daa520"><strong>5</strong></span> are partially met and <span style="color:#a52a2a"><strong>1</strong></span>&nbsp;is not.</p>
 
 
 
<p>In <span style="color:#daa520">4</span> cases that are partially meeting the success criteria can be easily implemented.</p>
 
 
 
<h3><strong>Results for Level 3 (AAA):</strong></h3>
 
 
 
<p>There are <strong>21</strong>&nbsp;checks in total for Level 3</p>
 
 
 
<p><span style="color:#008000"><strong>6</strong></span> are fully met. <span style="color:#daa520"><strong>4</strong></span> are partially met and <span style="color:#a52a2a"><strong>11</strong></span>&nbsp;are not.</p>
 
 
 
<p>In most cases of the partially or not meeting the success criteria&nbsp;will be difficult to implement.</p>
 
 
 
<h3>&nbsp;</h3>
 
 
 
<h3><strong>General</strong></h3>
 
 
 
<p>Markup changes are relatively easy to improve. Multi-Language requirements can also be easily improved.</p>
 
 
 
<p>Colour restrictions (like Luminosity Contrast Ratio) can be implemented by adding an extra style for people with partial sight allowing then to use that style in their profile settings (acceptance 4.2.1 and 4.2.3)</p>
 
 
 
<p>Supplementary linguistic or illustrative help will be difficult to implement as it requires an addition of manpower time to each one of the new and old tasks.</p>

<h2>7. Detailed Check List</h2>
 
 
 
<h3><strong><u>Level 1 (A)</u></strong></h3>
 
 
 
<h3><strong>Guide 1.1: Provide text alternatives for all non-text content</strong></h3>
 
 
 
<p>1.1.1&nbsp;For all&nbsp;non-text content:</p>
 
 
 
<ul>
 
<li>Non-text content presents information or responds to user input,&nbsp;text alternatives&nbsp;serve the same purpose and present the same information as the non-text content. If text alternatives cannot serve the same purpose, then text alternatives at least identify the purpose of the non-text content.</li>
 
<li>Non-text content is&nbsp;pure decoration, or used only for visual formatting, or if it is not presented to users, it is implemented such that it can be ignored by&nbsp;assistive technology</li>
 
</ul>
 
 
 
<h3><strong>Guideline 1.2&nbsp;: Provide synchronized alternatives for multimedia</strong></h3>
 
 
 
<p>1.2.1 -&nbsp;Captions&nbsp;are provided for prerecorded&nbsp;multimedia</p>
 
 
 
<p><span style="color:#008000"><em>Youtube videos are provided with captions</em></span></p>
 
 
 
<p>1.2.2 -&nbsp;Audio descriptions&nbsp;of video, or a&nbsp;full multimedia text alternative including any interaction, are provided for prerecorded&nbsp;multimedia</p>
 
 
 
<p><span style="color:#008000"><em>Most videos are tutorial videos showing screen captures that about new features. These can be easily understood without audio.</em></span></p>
 
 
 
<h3><strong>Guideline 1.3&nbsp;: Ensure that information and structure can be separated from presentation</strong></h3>
 
 
 
<p>1.3.1&nbsp;Information and relationships conveyed through&nbsp;presentation&nbsp;can be&nbsp;programmatically determined, and notification of changes to these is available to&nbsp;user agents, including&nbsp;assistive technologies</p>
 
 
 
<p><span style="color:#008000"><em>We use basic html markup including headings, hyperlinks and&nbsp; logical DOM structure flow so that the screen reader will follow that&nbsp; easily.</em></span></p>
 
 
 
<p>1.3.2&nbsp;Any&nbsp;information that is conveyed by color&nbsp;is also visually evident without color</p>
 
 
 
<p><span style="color:#daa520"><em>In most cases it is true however sin some scenarios like background colours to show a status in a row for example, there is no alternative.</em></span></p>
 
 
 
<p>1.3.3&nbsp;When the sequence of the content affects its meaning, that sequence can be&nbsp;programmatically determined.</p>
 
 
 
<p><span style="color:#daa520"><em>In some cases we have information and actions that are aligned to the right for example, that will be sill available for screen readers, however, we do not provide a context for these actions and for the visually impaired person it will look the same.</em></span></p>
 
 
 
<h3><strong>Guideline 2.1&nbsp;: Make all functionality operable via a keyboard interface</strong></h3>
 
 
 
<p>2.1.1&nbsp;All&nbsp;functionality&nbsp;of the content is operable in a non-time-dependent manner through a&nbsp;keyboard interface, except where the task requires&nbsp;analog, time-dependent input.</p>
 
 
 
<p>Note:&nbsp;This does not preclude and should not discourage the support of other input methods (such as a mouse) in addition to keyboard operation.</p>
 
 
 
<p><span style="color:#daa520"><em>We do have shortcuts to access specific areas, to focus on common elements and focusable elements that allows easy navigation. There are sill areas in the product that are not very easy to navigate and these can be improved.</em></span></p>
 
 
 
<h3><strong>Guideline 2.2&nbsp;: Allow users to control time limits on their reading or interaction</strong></h3>
 
 
 
<p>2.2.1&nbsp;For each time-out that is a function of the content</p>
 
 
 
<p><span style="color:#008000"><em>The time-out is set to a high number in the server. It can not be changed but it is sufficient for anyone to work without risk of loosing data.</em></span></p>
 
 
 
<h3><strong>Guideline 2.3&nbsp;: Allow users to avoid content that could cause seizures due to photosensitivity</strong></h3>
 
 
 
<p>2.3.1&nbsp;Content does not violate the&nbsp;general flash threshold&nbsp;or the&nbsp;red flash threshold</p>
 
 
 
<p><span style="color:#008000"><em>The application does not display flashing elements on the screen. Popups are used with low contrasts and no red colours are used as a popup.</em></span></p>
 
 
 
<h3><strong>Guideline 2.4&nbsp;: Provide mechanisms to help users find content, orient themselves within it, and navigate through it</strong></h3>
 
 
 
<p>&nbsp;2.4.1&nbsp;A mechanism is available to bypass blocks of content that are repeated on multiple&nbsp;Web units</p>
 
 
 
<p><span style="color:#008000"><em>There is a common menu that is available in all Web Units as well as shortcuts to navigate to that menu.</em></span></p>
 
 
 
<h3><strong>Guideline 2.5&nbsp;: Help users avoid mistakes and make it easy to correct mistakes that do occur</strong></h3>
 
 
 
<p>2.5.1&nbsp;If an&nbsp;input error&nbsp;is detected, the error is identified and described to the user in text</p>
 
 
 
<p><span style="color:#008000"><em>Errors are displayed to the user if occur.&nbsp;</em></span></p>
 
 
 
<h3><strong>Guideline 3.1&nbsp;: Make text content readable and understandable.</strong></h3>
 
 
 
<p>3.1.1&nbsp;The primary&nbsp;natural language&nbsp;or languages of the&nbsp;Web unit&nbsp;can be&nbsp;programmatically determined</p>
 
 
 
<p><span style="color:#008000"><em>Primary language is set in the document&#39;s body</em></span></p>
 
 
 
<h3><strong>Guideline 3.2&nbsp;: Make the placement and functionality of content predictable.</strong></h3>
 
 
 
<p>3.2.1&nbsp;When any component receives focus, it does not cause a&nbsp;change of context.</p>
 
 
 
<p><span style="color:#008000"><em>No components change context when setting focus.</em></span></p>
 
 
 
<p>3.2.2&nbsp;Changing the setting of any form control or field does not automatically cause a&nbsp;change of context&nbsp;(beyond moving to the next field in tab order), unless the authored unit contains instructions before the control that describe the behavior.</p>
 
 
 
<p><span style="color:#008000"><em>I general the context of a form is not changed, however there are a few exceptions in Service Manager when filling fields in a progressive capture depending on the selected input, the form can switch to a different form. This has been changed and new forms are not doing this any more. New forms are now adding fields but the context of the form remains the same.</em></span></p>
 
 
 
<h3><strong>Guideline 4.1&nbsp;: Support compatibility with current and future user agents (including assistive technologies)</strong></h3>
 
 
 
<p>4.1.1&nbsp;Web units&nbsp;or&nbsp;authored components&nbsp;can be&nbsp;parsed unambiguously, and the relationships in the resulting data structure are also unambiguous</p>
 
 
 
<p><span style="color:#008000"><em>We have a very well defined and valid markup content. We use automated tools to make sure these are valid.</em></span></p>
 
 
 
<p>4.1.2&nbsp;For all user interface components, the&nbsp;name&nbsp;and&nbsp;role&nbsp;can be&nbsp;programmatically determined, values that can be set by the user can be&nbsp;programmatically set, and notification of changes to these items is available to&nbsp;user agents, including&nbsp;assistive technologies</p>
 
 
 
<p><span style="color:#daa520"><em>We use standard libraries to display more sophisticated controls therefore in most cases these controls will have proper role and naming identifications. There can be some components that are not properly defined and when these are identified we can add the extra information to meet this requirement.</em></span></p>
 
 
 
<h3><strong>Guideline 4.2&nbsp;: Ensure that content is accessible or provide an accessible alternative</strong></h3>
 
 
 
<p>4.2.1&nbsp;At least one version of the&nbsp;content&nbsp;meets all level 1 success criteria, but&nbsp;alternate version(s)&nbsp;that do not meet all level 1 success criteria may be available from the same URI.</p>
 
 
 
<p><span style="color:#008000"><em>We have one version that meets all Level 1 success criteria</em></span></p>
 
 
 
<p>4.2.2&nbsp;Content&nbsp;meets the following criteria even if the content uses a technology that is not in the chosen&nbsp;baseline:</p>
 
 
 
<ul>
 
<li>If content can be entered using the keyboard, then the content can be exited using the keyboard.</li>
 
<li>Content conforms to&nbsp;success criterion 2.3.1&nbsp;(general and red flash).</li>
 
</ul>
 
 
 
<p><span style="color:#008000"><em>Both criteria is meet.</em></span></p>
 
 
 
<h3>&nbsp;</h3>
 
 
 
<h3><u><strong>Level 2 (AA)</strong></u></h3>
 
 
 
<h3><strong>Guideline 1.2&nbsp;: Provide synchronized alternatives for multimedia</strong></h3>
