Learn about accessibility support in Analysis Workspace, the premier analysis tool for 蜜豆视频 Analytics.

Accessibility refers to making products usable for people with visual, auditory, cognitive, motor, and other disabilities. Examples of accessibility features for software products include screen reader support, text equivalents for graphics, keyboard shortcuts, change of display colors to high contrast, and so on.

Analysis Workspace provides some tools that make it accessible to use, including:

Navigation in Analysis Workspace works top > down, and left > right. The following navigational elements facilitate accessibility:

  • The Tab key enables landmark shortcuts, moving between larger sections within Workspace. In the left rail, Tab also enables you to move from one draggable option to the next.

  • The left/right arrows move between individual elements after Tab has highlighted it.

  • The F6 navigates to the first panel in the project and moves between the visualizations within that panel. Then, it moves to the next panel in the project and repeats.

  • We apply focus indicators so that sighted keyboard users have a clear indication of which UI element currently has focus. The indicator is a blue border around the selected element.

Keyboard navigation for the menu bar

  1. Tab until you have reached the menu bar.
  2. Use left/right arrow keys to navigate to the menu you want.
  3. Press Enter to select the menu and show its options.
  4. Use up/down arrow keys to navigate to the menu option you want.
  5. Press Enter to select the option.

Keyboard navigation for drag & drop interactions

Analysis Workspace is a drag & drop user interface. However, users can add components using the keyboard instead:

  1. Tab to a component in the left rail.
  2. Press Enter to select.
  3. Use arrow keys to navigate to the area where you want to drop the component.
  4. Press Enter to place the component.

Support for screen readers and screen magnifiers

A screen reader reads text that appears on the computer screen. It also reads non-textual information, such as button labels or image descriptions in the application, provided in accessibility tags or attributes.

Color palettes & contrast

Analysis Workspace strives for WCAG 2.1 AA conformance, including requirements for color contrast.

In addition, users can set their own preferred color palette for a project under Project > Project settings > Project color palette.

Required field validation in component builders

When building a component, required fields are validated when you save. If a required field does not pass validation, it will be outlined in red with an error icon. A written description appears of the issue that needs to be fixed.

Once a component is fully validated, pressing Save closes the builder.

Support for operating system accessibility features

Analysis Workspace supports built-in MS Windows and macOS accessibility features like high-contrast mode, sticky keys, and slow keys/filter keys. It also provides information about the user interface to the operating system to enable interaction with assistive technologies, including screen readers such as VoiceOver for macOS and NVDA on Windows.
