Hello

Has anyone done any accessibility testing in ArcGIS online before when using the web applications such as the Web app builder template

?

We will be deploying a new application soon and it has been highlighted in the past about the accessibility of ArcGIS online when using the web applications templates provided by esri

Been looking into colours used on the map, navigating the map with a keyboard and if screen readers will work (not tried this yet)

Just wondered if anyone had any suggestion on how to improve the accessibility of the applications when configuring them and the data.


Also what to look out for when testing the applications themselves?

Many Thanks

Tom

Thomas,

Please check out the following discussion for information on a repo intended to add 508-compliant elements to Web App Builder. You'll need the Developer's Edition for WAB.
