Introduction¶

The FastTrack module locates elements such as links, images, and text and addresses any accessibility issues that are found. FastTrack allows you to repair issues in bulk. You can fix, review, and ignore HTML snippets on affected pages. 

Instructions¶

This section provides instructions on how to navigate to the FastTrack module.

1. Click Accessibility (icon of a human with arms outstretched) or Data Privacy (lock icon) on the dashboard toolbar. The Accessibility dashboard opens.

   
   Note

   The Accessibility landing page shows the selected level of compliance and the WCAG compliance for all of the lower levels. In the example above, WCAG 2.1 AA compliance is selected. The scan results show the WCAG 2.1 AA and WCAG 2.1 A compliance results.

   Alternatively, click the section header header in the Overview section of the dashboard.
