An issue occurs when you go to the Generate Form page and start the jaws. The Generate Time Forms Link is announced as 'Current', which is confusing to users because the current page can't be activated. It should either be plain text or be announced as a 'Disabled' link. | 2H 2024 (Planned) |
When you choose Time Forms > Filter, a filter dialog is displayed, and the jaws announce the list and the list count. There is an incorrect count list read as the text 'Filter By' is used as a group header. When navigating through a combo box list, Filter By should not be counted since it is not a list. | 2H 2024 (Planned) |
When you enter an incorrect input in the Filter By field, there is no error validation implemented for sighted and non-sighted users. | 2H 2024 (Planned) |
When you choose Generate Forms > Template, a dialog is displayed, and the jaws announce the list and the list count. There is an incorrect count list read. | 2H 2024 (Confirmed) |
When you click on arrow key multiple times to select the language, the keyboard focus gets misplaced to the error message icon. When the template selection dialogue opens after selecting the template from the list the focus gets misplaced on the error message icon and the jaws keeps announcing all the content. | 2H 2024 (Confirmed) |
The dynamically updated page content according to the input selection on the Generate Form page is not getting announced. | 1H 2024 (Confirmed) |
In Time Statement generation, error or warning messages provide detailed descriptions of the issues, but they don't visually highlight the specific problems and their locations with red or other distinct indicators. We are aware of this issue and are working on resolving it. | 1H 2025 (Planned) |
In Time Statement generation, when you change the high contrast settings from the app or BizX application settings (for either white text on a black background or black text on a white background), the text inside input fields, such as dropdown values and dates, becomes invisible. To ensure proper visibility of the text, you need to rectify this issue for both high contrast themes. | 1H 2025 (Planned) |
In Time Statement generation, the "Time Period" input field has a placeholder text that reads "select a time period". This placeholder text does not specify the date format you should use when selecting a time period. | 1H 2025 (Confirmed) |
In Time Statement generation, when error or warning messages are generated based on the date selection or other criteria, you can see a red error icon with the count of errors. However, there are no visible text alternatives provided for the messages button. | 1H 2025 (Planned) |
In Time Statement form, the screen reader does not recognize or read the headings placed just before the tables. This issue causes the reading order to be incorrect and inconsistent. Additionally, the screen reader does not provide table cell value associations for all tables in the PDF format, and it does not read the table data cell by cell. | 1H 2025 (Planned) |
In Time Statement form, page title does not follow the correct format. | 1H 2025 (Planned) |
In Time Statement generation, the resize pointer for resizing the dialogue lacks a single pointer activation mechanism for mouse and touch users. You can resize the dialogue by dragging the resize icon in the top right corner, but you cannot perform the same action with a single pointer action without dragging. | 1H 2025 (Planned) |
