AW: Alternative for the widget access in a dashboard

Hi Marc,

@all:  I appologize for putting graphics in my mail. I am myself blind and don’t like this kid of actions. But at the time I have not yet a test system open for external users to offer the real Web situation.

@Marc:  Thanks for answering the questions that I didn’t pose. 😊 Please make no conclusions about Accessibility of a system only having seen a screenshot. Fabasoft Cloud is highly accessible. I work with it with ease daily.

But please, maybe somebody else gives me a serious answer.

Mario

Hi Mario,

It’s bad UX to make SR users click twice. You know it, that's because you're asking. ;-)

Why not think about making it good? - If you make many decisions like this you might end up wit a product that is passing each SC but still is not usable for many people.

If everything else is perfect, then ok, but I don’t think the table in the second screenshot is accessible.

Also I see at least four navigations on the second pic - have you thought of how to bypass them?

Actually that piece of software does not look like it was designed with accessibility in mind...

Besides there are very competent people on this list that cannot see your images. So maybe you won’t get some of the best answers because you have published non text content without text alternative right here.

Have a nice day,

Marc

Hello dear experts,
In our Fabasoft Cloud Web-Apps we try to reduce navigation efforts for keyboard users in the app dashboards. In the window area of a dashboard we implement currently an ARIA listbox with widget headings as options.
<image001.png>
A keyboard User has no access to the content of each widget. He/she can only navigate with arrow keys to each widget header and open it with enter key. The content on the top level are only restricted lists. After opening a widget the user gets full functional access to the complete list.
<image002.png>
Is this an allowed partial alternative? There are no unavailable functionalities for a keyboard user. The only difference to the possibilities of a mouse user is a keypress more (enter). A mouse user has also to open the widget if the list has more than 6 entries.

Thanks in advance.

Ciao     Mario
