Audit

Module Audit allows previewing violations found on the application currently being processed. Violations may concern the application's compliance with WCAG requirements or the application's compliance with Eximee functionalities.

They are divided into 3 categories:

  • Violations - marked red with a warning icon. They indicate that an error detected on the application causes a violation of WCAG rules or incorrect use of Eximee functionality.

  • Suggestions - marked blue with an information icon. They show tips to improve the created application, not necessarily being an error.

  • Obsolescences - marked blue with a warning icon. They indicate that the used functionality is no longer supported and suggest using a new, supported Eximee solution.

Violations

EXIMEE Violation | Tooltip

Level: Expiration

Occurrence: Contextual help (Tooltip)

Component documentation: Contextual help (tooltip)

Reason: Using the tooltipTextKey attribute may cause problems displaying the contextual help if its visibility is determined conditionally.

Validation method: Check whether the tooltipTextKey attribute is filled in, and whether the translation key assigned to it has been populated in the Translations application.

WCAG 1.1.1 (A) Violation | Image

Level: Violation

Occurrence: Image (GesImage)

Component documentation: Image - Image

Reason: Text alternative - violation. All non-text content presented to the user has its textual alternative that performs the same function. Every image should have the alt attribute filled in, which is read by screen readers when focused.

Validation method: Check whether the component has the presentation mode "Informational" and a filled value for "Text to display when the URL is broken" or "Text to display when the URL is broken (key)".

WCAG 1.3.1 (A) Violation | Label

Level: Violation

Occurrence: Label (GesText)

Component documentation: Label - Text

Reason: Information, structure and relationships between content conveyed through presentation can be read by a computer program or exist as text. Every label should be associated with a form field or be displayed as a paragraph (<p></p>) instead of as a label (<label></label>).

Validation method: Check whether the component has the property "Display as paragraph" selected or whether it has the field "Field associated with the label" filled in.

WCAG 1.4.13 (AA) Violation | Tooltip

Level: Violation

Occurrence: Contextual help (Tooltip)

Component documentation: Contextual help (tooltip)

Reason: If hovering the mouse can trigger additional content, the cursor can be moved over the additional content without it disappearing. In our system, such functionality is enabled by interactive contextual help.

Validation method: Check whether the component has interactive contextual help enabled in the component properties.
