Synopsis
Enable Safari screen readers to close the Layers, Legend, and Search panels within the Map widget in Experience Builder.
Technical Description of the Enhancement
When using Safari’s screen reader, users cannot close the Layers, Legend, or Search panels within the Map widget once they are opened. While other Map widget menus can be closed using a screen reader, these specific panels do not expose an accessible control that Safari can detect.
The requested enhancement is to add accessible, screen‑reader‑compatible close functionality for these panels, ensuring Safari can recognise and activate the close control.
Ideal Workflow
A user navigating with Safari’s screen reader should be able to open and close all Map widget panels—including Layers, Legend, and Search—using standard accessible controls that are properly announced and operable.
Use Case and Business Impact
If users cannot close these panels, they become trapped in portions of the interface, disrupting navigation and creating a significant accessibility barrier for visually impaired users. Addressing this improves overall usability, ensures consistent behaviour across widgets, and supports compliance with accessibility requirements for public‑facing applications.
