Accessibility and usability barriers

The following information is provided to help people with disabilities know what potential barriers may exist.

No visible indication of keyboard focus may impact users with motor disabilities

When using the keyboard to tab through the Airtable, there is no focus indicator that highlights the area of focus. As a result, users with motor disabilities who navigate via keyboard or other assistive technology may not know where they are and have difficulty interacting with the Airtable.

Screen reader barriers may impact users who are blind or have low vision

There are several instances of unexpected navigation patterns, illogical reading order, checkboxes and expand buttons that are mislabeled as images, and some elements that cannot be accessed by screen reader.

Magnification barriers may cause difficulty for users with low vision

When magnified to 175% or higher, the Airtable does not reflow and horizontal scrolling is required to browse it.
