Inclusive design for everyone is a core principle for One Model’s product team. One Model is committed to delivering software that is accessible and we use the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) as the primary reference for this work.
Users may need to use their own client-side, third-party assistive technologies, such as the JAWS screen reader, to be used in conjunction with the One Model solution. Given the range of different end-user assistive technologies available, it is hard to test for all possible scenarios, but we do test specifically for the use of JAWS with the Google Chrome browser as a baseline.
To date, the One Model team has focused on improving Accessibility in the following areas of the product:
- Log On
- Main Navigation bar
- Storyboard Library
- Storyboards
- Storyboard Filter Bar, and
- Allowing users to Export Charts and tables to a CSV file
with the following accessibility features:
- Compatibility with the Chrome Web browser on your desktop
- Keyboard navigation
- JAWS screen reader compatibility
The One Model team has focused our efforts for enhanced Accessibility support on key end-user features of the solution such as navigating the application and using Storyboards. The One Model solution provides the ability to create visual content (e.g. Charts, Tables and Storyboards), so content creators should consider accessibility requirements of their users, for example when designing Storyboards and configuring color palettes. The different components are layered with some general functions that typically work with Google Chrome screen reader, and more specific JAWS keystrokes.
While the One Model team aims to provide Accessibility support throughout the solution, depending on user persona, some areas of the solution may not be fully optimized for accessibility. If you identify any Accessibility issues with key parts of the One Model solution, we welcome your feedback so please contact us through your Customer Success Lead.
