We just looked at one of these reports and they are highly inaccessible. We'll be conducting a more comprehensive review of this application in the not to distant future.

Subject: [WebAIM] Accessibility of Tableau data dashboards?

Hello,
Has anyone on this list ever evaluated the accessibility of the dashboards created using Tableau? Our state agency is beginning to use Tableau internally and want to start linking to, or embedding, these Tableau dashboards through our website. I have concerns about their accessibility.

For example, I did a very rudimentary review of this page<http://public.tableau.com/profile/technical.product.marketing#!/vizhome/Tale-of-100-Entrepreneurs_14/Taleof100Entrepreneurs>. All I want to see was whether those things on the page that look like headings, actually are headings. They are not.
They are just styled to look like headings. I don't know if this is a deficiency in the software or what.

I would be interested in hearing of the experience of users on this list.

Thank you,
