Released Enhancements
Meetings
Alt and title text on the Meetings display has been updated to better align with practices around linked icons and handle scenarios where multiple files of the same type are uploaded.
and embedded elements
Force the images to be marked as decorative to improve the usability of our displays by limiting the amount of information users with screen readers need to parse through to get the information they are looking for.
Calendar
Improved the announcements made in the calendar to provide better context to users navigating with a screen reader.
Updated the Month, Day, and List buttons to indicate which button is active
Sidebar Menus
Expand buttons now have a unique and related title
The active menu link is identified
The button to expand comes before the link in the same line to meet focus order standards
Filter Options
Moved filters with multiple options into a list structure so users with screen readers will know they are entering a list of options and how many items are in the list. Impacted displays include
Business Directory
Document Library
News
Parks
Properties
Projects
Security
Added a Content Security Policy
Image Link Options
Primary images and images in the Image and Text section type can now be linked. There are two new fields available below the image upload fields.
URL: Provide the URL to the destination
Link text: This is required to meet ADA compliance standards and should indicate where the link will take the user.
Alert Dismiss Button
We have added the ability to control the text in the dismissal button on alerts. Previously, the dismissal button text was hard-coded to “No, thanks”. Staff can now customize or remove the text. When removed, users will be able to close the alert pop-up with the X in the upper-right corner.
