No previous message | Next message →

Hi all,
I am certain this is a silly question but I can't find the answer anywhere
on Siteimprove's website or Google more generally. Perhaps it's so obvious
that
no one has felt the need to answer it explicitly.

I was sent a siteimprove report today and though I have lists of
accessibility errors I'm not told where those errors are to confirm with a
manual test
what the automated one is telling me. There's a section of the .csv file
that's for page URLs but it doesn't appear connected to the main table of
errors,
warnings and reviews. Is this typical? How am I to check and fix these
errors if I don't know where on the site they are? What am I missing here?

thank you for any help you can provide,
Sarah

The rea-time report for SiteImprove offers you to ither view the issue
on the webpage or look at the HTML. They must export either of the two
to the accessibility report, else, like you said, how is one going to
locate the offending webpage element.

Thank you, Birkir! I am glad I am not completely off my rocker. I'll
follow up with those requests and will hopefully have better luck with
this QA.

Ask the person who is exporting the data to select the "Include: Pages (Table)" radio button. This will create another set of column in the report that will tell you which page has the errors. It's way easier to do all the review right in Siteimprove though. It would increase your efficiency 10-fold.

I actually like the in-page Site Improve accessibility reports.
There are screen reader issues, they use multiple alert roles that can
actually cripple a screen reader for a couple of minutes, but once you
get past them you can view the issue and the page in the same browser
tab, and you can mark it.
