ACCESSIBILITY

PO07793, WorkItem:244989 - JAWS screen reader reads the tabular structure where it is used for layout purpose

Issue Description:

JAWS 2018 reads the tabular structure of the first field in a form followed by the actual field name (for example “Table Column 2 Row 1 First Name”). JAWS should just read the field name.

**User Interface Impact: **No

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Login as a caseworker.
2. Navigate to Person Search page.
3. Start JAWS 2018.
4. Tab on the page to the first input field in a form.
5. Issue: JAWS reads out the field name and the tabular structure.

Resolution:

This issue is now resolved and JAWS 2018 no longer reads out the structure of the fields in a form.

PO07807, WorkItem:244990 - Color Contrast correction for Calendar

Issue Description:

In the UI's Calendar widget the color for today's date fails Level AA Conformance to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. This is due to the background-color being light-blue (#9FBBDE) and the font-color being white (#FFFFFF). This impacts users with impaired vision, preventing them from distinguishing the dates available in the Calendar.

**User Interface Impact: **No

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Login as a caseworker.
2. Search for a person registered this month, and click their name to open their profile.
3. In the Tab Actions menu click 'Edit..'.
4. Click the Calendar widget next to Registration Date.
5. Issue: Observe that today's date is highlighted with a light blue background-color and white font.

Resolution:

Observe now that the font color is now black which conforms with Level AA Conformance to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines.

PO07816 , WorkItem:244991 - Application screen heading structure used by JAWS navigation missing Level 1 Heading

Issue Description:

Previously, the heading structure of application pages was missing the h1 heading. When using JAWS to navigate the application by pressing Insert+F6, the list of available headings to move to was starting from the h2 heading.

User Interface Impact: No

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Login as a caseworker using Internet Explorer 11.
2. Launch JAWS 2018.
3. Press Insert+F6 to bring up the lists of headings (on any pages of the Merative SPM Application).
4. Issue: Observe the list of headings in the JAWS dialog. The h1 heading is not displayed in the list.

Resolution:

This issue has been resolved by updating the Application Banner Renderer to create the h1 element. Now 'IBM Curam Social Program Management' is displayed as h1 in the Heading List on the JAWS dialog when pressing Insert+F6.

PO07996, WorkItem:244992 - Screen reader does not announce the tab titles when moving through the content area tab navigation bar

Issue Description:

When a user searched for a person, opened their home page and moved through the content area tab navigation bar, JAWS screen reader 17 and 2018 ignored the tab title and/or read other elements that were not related to the tab title.

**User Interface Impact: **No

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Using JAWS 17 or 2018 with Internet Explorer 11.
2. Login as a caseworker.
3. Navigate to a Person profile page e.g. 'James Smith'.
4. Navigate to the 'Home' tab on the content area tab navigation bar and move through the other tabs such as 'Evidence' and 'Care and Protection'.
5. Issue: The extra text is not being consistently announced.

Resolution:

The issue has been resolved and JAWS now correctly announces the tab titles.

LOOK & FEEL

PO08179, WorkItem:244835 - Lists could not be sorted by clicking on column titles

Issue Description:

When searching for a person during Person Registration, the result list columns could not be sorted by clicking on the column title, making it more difficult for the user to find a person within the list.

User Interface Impact: No

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Login as a caseworker.
2. Select to Register a Person.
3. Search for a person so that you get a result list of more than one person.
4. Click on any column title.
5. Issue: Clicking on the column title does not sort the list.

Resolution:

This was resolved by updating the gen-jsp.xsl stylesheet to add back in content that had been incorrectly removed. Now the list can be sorted by clicking on any column title.

Technical:

The gen-jsp.xsl stylesheet, which lives in the following location

• /CuramCDEJ/lib/curam/xml/xsl/jsp

was missing a closing quote after the following statement, ${listSortColAnchorText}. So the following line

• <xsl:text>",true,"${listSortColAnchorText},"${listSortOrd}");});</xsl:text>

was updated to

• <xsl:text>",true,"${listSortColAnchorText}","${listSortOrd}");});</xsl:text>
