- The yellow triangle is for accessibility scores between 30% and 70%.
- The red octagon is for accessibility scores less than or equal to 30%.
- The grey prohibition sign is for documents with disabled alternative formats.
- The purple circle is if a document has not been scanned.
Improving the accessibility score
The Accessibility Report provides comprehensive insights into specific areas where your documents can be enhanced, offering valuable guidance for improvement.
- In PowerSchool, navigate to your course Materials. Click on the accessibility icon next to the file you want to remediate.
-
Click Accessibility Report.
-
Notice the accessibility issue(s) in your document. Click the Fix This Document button in the bottom-right corner to begin remediation.
-
Choose the method with which you'd like to fix the document. In this guide, we will focus on using Guided Remediation.
You can review the accessibility scores or resolve the accessibility issue with:
- Structural Remediation (add-on required): Provides in-line structural remediation to help fix a wide set of accessibility issues across PDF documents.
- AutoPilot (add-on required): Automatically proposes fixes for accessibility issues, which can be applied to your document immediately using the Panorama Remediation Engine.
- Guided Remediation with Assistance: Manually add fixes for accessibility issues within the report, and then apply those changes to your document.
- Send to YuJa Accessibility Experts: Provides manual steps for updating the original document.
- Replace with Alternative Format: Replace the original document with an alternative format generated by YuJa Panorama.
- Fix the document issue as per the Guided Remediation instructions. In this case, the fix can be made by adding a title to the document.
-
Click Select Fix.
-
Click Apply 1 Fix to Document. If you want to make several fixes, you can do so all at once.
-
Fixes will appear in the document view and the Accessibility Score will update accordingly. To replace the old file with the remediated file, click Download File.
-
In the bottom-right corner, select Choose File. Click on the file you downloaded in the previous step.
- The remediated file you have chosen will replace the old one in your LMS.
