Using 'Tabs' and accessibility
Hi Hazel, thank you very much for your help. Please could I check whether if we use Tabs in our product, does that mean we would not have an AA compliant product? Or are there ways to use Tabs and be AA compliant?
Hi again, Haremi Employee! Apologies for the previous information I provided. The Tabs blocks fully support WCAG guidelines so you are good to use them.
The only blocks that do not support them are these:
Image and quote carousels
Process interactions
Drag-and-drop interactions (matching and sorting)
Scenario
Charts
Flashcards
Hi Hazel, do you know how long until the flashcard grid block is compliant? This would be one of my most used blocks but our courses must be compliant.
Thank you Hazel Bartolome, that's great news that tabs are AA-compliant!
Please could you advise further about interactive scenarios? As mentioned, we're looking to create an AA-compliant product and would love to include interactive scenarios in it. In the Accessibility Conformance Report (https://articulate.com/support/article/Rise-360-Accessibility-Conformance-Report-VPAT) I have found this:
Scenario blocks don’t currently support alt text. It's coming soon.
Does this mean if we use the interactive 'Scenario', our product wouldn't be AA-compliant? I'm not sure what a scenario 'block' is and whether this might be different? We'd be looking to use the Scenario with text/dialogue, so not sure where alt text comes in?
Many thanks for your help!
Hi Haremi Employee, correct that is the interactive Scenario Block.
Alt-text is used to describe images to those with visual disabilities or to further better illustrate an image or situation's context.
If we make any updates to this or any changes that help, you'll be notified and we'll update our "Accessibility Journey" article.
