RE: "Error correction (Processes)" to WCAG 2.2 draft

Hi Jon, Sailesh,

Apologies, I missed your emails when they came in.

We had discussed the relationship to 3.3.6 previously:
https://www.w3.org/2020/03/03-ag-minutes.html#item07

In short, this one is scoped to processes (and decided that 'multi-step' wasn't necessary for the SC text), and it is about the ability to review and change your input, whether that is a confirmation page or going back to previous steps.

One factor that's changed since 3.3.6 is the understanding of user need (coming from the COGA TF), and the scope of 3.3.4 and 3.3.6 are different as well. This applies more widely than 3.3.4, and has a different success mechanism to both of them.

Sailesh,
This SC isn't about validation, that doesn't figure in the scope or the requirement.

The requirement is that if you enter information in a process, you can review & change it. The "logical" exception is because you might be in a multi-step process, go back and change something which logically means later information is not valid any more. E.g. changing the destination of a holiday would invalidate the hotel information in a later step.

The reason this was created by the COGA task force is because the ability to review and change information is a much greater need for people with cognitive impairments.

Kind regards,

-Alastair

This SC seems similar to SC 3.3.6 (which is Level AAA) although this one mentions processes and seems stricter than 3.3.4 which is Level AA.  I would like more clarity on relationship to existing criteria before committing to a CFC.

Hi All,

An exception to the SC is implied with the current verbiage. It seems to me that explicitly calling out the exception (i.e., "unless essential to the activity") would align with the presentation of exceptions in other success criteria - which would cover the logical, security, privacy, and other valid reasons where an exception might be applicable.

Does the use of a "Next" button within a process constitute a submission? If buttons used to advance but not complete a process are out of scope, perhaps explicitly mentioning that would be helpful in defining a "submission" for purposes of this SC.
