All reported criteria (50)
| Criterion | Name | Level | Conformance | Remarks from vendor |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.1.1 | Non-text Content | A | Supports | There are some cases where the svg elements do not have accessible text. |
| 1.2.1 | Audio-only and Video-only (Prerecorded) | A | Not Applicable | |
| 1.2.2 | Captions (Prerecorded) | A | Not Applicable | |
| 1.2.3 | Audio Description or Media Alternative (Prerecorded) | A | Not Applicable | |
| 1.2.4 | Captions (Live) | AA | Not Applicable | |
| 1.2.5 | Audio Description (Prerecorded) | AA | Not Applicable | |
| 1.3.1 | Info and Relationships | A | Partially Supports | When the Narrator (screen reader) reads the Performance Monitor counter, it will say the object name followed by some random strings of errors. The workaround is to press Shift and end the Narrator from reading after the user has already heard the object name stated. |
| 1.3.2 | Meaningful Sequence | A | Supports | When screen reader is on, while reading the data in the grid focus is automatically shifting to search field. The workaround is to use keyboard to focus out of the search field. In some cases, in scan mode, the user can get structed at splitting separator and unable to navigate between the controls |
| 1.3.3 | Sensory Characteristics | A | Supports | |
| 1.3.4 | Orientation | AA | Supports | |
| 1.3.5 | Identify Input Purpose | AA | Supports | |
| 1.4.1 | Use of Color | A | Supports | |
| 1.4.2 | Audio Control | A | Not Applicable | |
| 1.4.3 | Contrast (Minimum) | AA | Supports | |
| 1.4.4 | Resize text | AA | Partially Supports | Setting zoom to 400% makes some user interface elements unreadable. For example, settings menu elements, search box text and action menu text are cut off or unavailable. User will need to use platform provided magnifier tools as a workaround. |
| 1.4.5 | Images of Text | AA | Supports | |
| 1.4.10 | Reflow | AA | Partially Supports | When Zoomed in to 400% the application will not reflow correctly, and some options in the action bar are not visible. Zooming to 400% will make the Wizard controls not usable at 400%. Date time controls are also affected and the calendar control will overlap. Users can zoom to between 200%-300%. |
| 1.4.11 | Non-Text Contrast | AA | Supports | |
| 1.4.12 | Text Spacing | AA | Supports | |
| 1.4.13 | Content on Hover or Focus | AA | Supports | |
| 2.1.1 | Keyboard | A | Partially Supports | There are minor keyboard inaccessibility issues in Settings, PowerShell, Chart Controls, View Scripts, Date/Time Controls, Device Manager, Computer ID Dialog, Extension Manager, and Processes. In all cases, a mouse will let the user navigate successfully.In Cluster Create and System Insights, some buttons and graphs are inaccessible by keyboard, the work around would be to use scan mode or use the mouse. |
| 2.1.2 | No Keyboard Trap | A | Supports | |
| 2.1.4 | Character Key Shortcuts | A | Supports | |
| 2.2.1 | Timing Adjustable | A | Not Applicable | |
| 2.2.2 | Pause, Stop, Hide | A | Not Applicable | |
| 2.3.1 | Three Flashes or Below Threshold | A | Supports | |
| 2.4.1 | Bypass Blocks | A | Supports | There is not skip link implemented to bypass universal header |
| 2.4.2 | Page Titled | A | Supports | |
| 2.4.3 | Focus Order | A | Partially Supports | Focus is lost (goes to top of the page) in some cases throughout the product. This is particularly true when accessing buttons that open/close dialogs. However, the user is not trapped and is able to tab through the product back to the correct content. |
| 2.4.4 | Link Purpose (In Context) | A | Supports | |
| 2.4.5 | Multiple Ways | AA | Supports | |
| 2.4.6 | Headings and Labels | AA | Supports | |
| 2.4.7 | Focus Visible | AA | Supports | |
| 2.5.1 | Pointer Gestures | A | Supports | |
| 2.5.2 | Pointer Cancellation | A | Supports | |
| 2.5.3 | Label in Name | A | Supports | |
| 2.5.4 | Motion Actuation | A | Supports | |
| 3.1.1 | Language of Page | A | Supports | |
| 3.1.2 | Language of Parts | AA | Not Applicable | |
| 3.2.1 | On Focus | A | Supports | |
| 3.2.2 | On Input | A | Supports | |
| 3.2.3 | Consistent Navigation | AA | Supports | |
| 3.2.4 | Consistent Identification | AA | Supports | |
| 3.3.1 | Error Identification | A | Supports | |

| 4.1.1 | Parsing | A | Supports | |
| 4.1.2 | Name, Role, Value | A | Partially Supports | The screen reader is not reading the correct string of "Search" when the search text box is selected. This only affects the Storage Replica tool and should not be a hard stop for users to use this tool. |
| 4.1.3 | Status Messages | AA | Partially Supports | Narrator is not announcing the status message returned correctly or is missing them all together. This is only affecting certain actions in the Cluster Create tool, Azure subscription, and File Explorer. |
