Where do we stand?

Your compliance at a glance. When your director asks where you stand on accessibility, you need an answer you can give in one breath. Home gives you that answer. The box at the top is the status band, and it describes your whole library.

The compliant share

The large number is the share of your documents that are compliant with WCAG 2.1 AA, the accessibility standard they're measured against. Compliant means a document passes every check, with nothing left for a person to confirm. Here, two of eight documents are compliant. That's twenty-five percent. It counts only scored documents, the ones Proof has finished checking. While new documents are still being checked, it shows how many have been analyzed instead. Beside it, two numbers give that share its scale. Documents counts your whole library, and the line under it counts their pages. Here, that's eight documents and nine pages. Open violations counts every confirmed failure still open. Each one is one failed check on one document. Here, there are three.

Failed, needs review, escalated

The share tells you how far along you are. The next three numbers tell you what is holding the rest back. A red dot means a confirmed problem. An amber dot means a person still has a step to take. Failed, in red, means at least one confirmed violation. Here, that's three documents. Needs review, in amber, means nothing has failed, but a person still has to judge something, such as reading order. Here, that's three. Escalated, also amber, means fixing in place wasn't enough, and the document has to be rebuilt. Here, there are none. So each needs a different kind of help. Failed documents need fixes, documents that need review need a decision, and escalated ones need a new file.

Where the work is

The numbers above say what state your documents are in. The Progress bar says how far along each one is in the work. Its legend names each stage with its count. To fix has three documents still being worked on. To review has three more, each waiting on a person. Ready to approve passes every check, and waits for someone to approve it. None are there right now. Certified was approved, and has a certificate you can hand over. Two documents are certified. That's the difference to remember. Compliant means a document passes. Certified means someone signed off, and there's a certificate to prove it.

Your plan budget

On the right, your plan budget shows how much of what you bought has been used. Here, three of ten documents. A document uses your balance only when it's certified, and Certified counts those. Here, two. Held counts documents set aside while their work is under way. Here, that's one. If one never certifies, its place goes back to your balance. Available is what you have left, here seven. How pricing works has its own lesson.

Behind every number

A number tells you how big a problem is. To act on it, you need the documents behind it. Each of these figures opens the Library on exactly those documents, and so does each stage in the Progress legend. Let's choose Failed. The Library opens on those three documents, and the Status filter at the top reads Failed. Each card shows what that document still needs, which helps you decide who should take it. Here, each has one thing to fix, and two also have checks to review. To see every document again, set the Status filter back to All status. To return, choose Home.

For the detail

When you need to show why, or prove it to someone else, choose Full report & certificates. It opens Reports, where the detail lives. Now you can say where your library stands, tell what is holding the rest back, and open the documents behind any number.
