1.2.4 Captions (Live) (Level AA)	Not Applicable	No live audio content in video is being used.
1.2.5 Audio Description (Prerecorded) (Level AA)	Not Supported	Bug 26554336 - Prerecorded videos do not include audio description
1.3.1 Info and Relationships (Level A)	Supports with Exceptions	The product was tested for: User interface component labels are associated with the fields they are labeling Headings are encoded with HTML heading tags List markup is used for marking up lists Table markup is used for marking up data tables, including row and column headers and table captions/summaries where appropriate Data tables specify SUMMARY or CAPTION Layout tables use appropriate markup Groups of components are marked up with their description Style sheets are used only to change the layout and presentation on the screen Known accessibility defects include: (Bug #26185241) When a user is composing a Service Request message, the screen displays two Cancel buttons (a button for the parent service request record and a button for the message) but the alternate text labels are the same for both buttons. (Bug #26317746) Service Request messages are displayed as a parent-child relationship when one message is a reply to another message, but no alternate text is provided to enable a user to distinguish this relationship when using a screen reader. (Bug #25879589) When a user creates a Service Request using the Save and Close action, a confirmation message is displayed and the user must close the message. However, a screen reader will incorrectly focus on the Close link rather than the text of the confirmation message. (Bug #26235289) While using a screen reader, when a user navigates into the embedded help from the Service Requests work area, the icon to expand the details for each help topic is not read on the same line as the topic name. This creates ambiguity for the user whether the preceding or following topic is being expanded. (Bug #26235406) While using a screen reader, when a user navigates into the embedded help from the Service Requests work area, the links within specific help topics that are labeled as "More Topics" are read by a screen reader as "Link Number" or "Visited Link Number", which can have an unclear meaning to the user. (Bug #23272062) In the Edit Service Request page, users may have difficultly determining how to access knowledge because the text label to expand the right hand panel is named ambiguously ("Restore Pane").
1.3.2 Meaningful Sequence(Level A)	Supports	The product was tested for: The sequence of elements in the DOM matches a logical reading sequence
1.3.3 Sensory Characteristics(Level A)	Supports	The product was tested for: Instructions provided which refer to graphics included a reference to the text alternative of the graphic

(Bug:#25811362) The Create and Delete buttons on the setup task 'Manage Service Request Status Values' do not have the necessary color contrast ratio.
1.4.2 Audio Control(Level A)	Supports	The product was tested for: No automatically playing audio is used
1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum) (Level AA)	Supports	The product was tested for: Large-scale text and images of large-scale text have a contrast ratio of at least 3:1 All other text and images of text have a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1

As a workaround, the user must select the SmartText name from the right hand panel on the page. (Bug #26150059) When a user attempts to insert a knowledge link into a Service Request message, the linked articles popup does not allow user to use the keyboard to select using the Select column and radio button. The user is only able to select the "Insert as Text" link using the keyboard. (Bug #25668485) When a user tries to edit the category field and product field on a Service Request, the user must use the Alt+down keystroke to expand the field and the Shift+Tab keystroke to search the rows in the hierarchy. However, the user is not able to use the keyboard to select one of the items in the hierarchy. As a workaround, the user must tab into the search box and search on the text of the desired item specifically. (Bug #23032577) In the Queues list page, the sort controls in the column headers cannot be selected using a keyboard in order to choose ascending or descending order. (Bug #26179370) When a user composes a forward or response message on a service request, the user is unable select a contact name to populate into the To, CC, or BCC fields for the email. This occurs because the search in each of the fields does not return any results when screen reader mode is on and a screen reader is installed.

The focus remains on the 'Post' button, and the user must use the keyboard to move the focus to the text area.
2.4.4 Link Purpose (In Context)(Level A)	Supports	The product was tested for: The text of links and their surrounding paragraph, list, table cell (with marked up table headers), is sufficient to describe their purpose
