ℹ️

The Accessibility App does not edit, modify, or override prior accessibility adjustments that were made on the site since it takes into consideration that if you've manually implemented a feature, there was a reason for it.

Installation and configuration

The Accessibility App plugin can be installed by an Admin, following the directions in Installing QBeeQ Plugins.

Operating system and version support:

  • Linux - L2022.1 / Latest
  • Windows - V8.2.5 / Latest

You can easily customize the appearance and behavior of the accessibility icon - such as its position, color, and size. The Accessibility App uses config.js file which controls the global behavior of the Accessibility App across your entire Sisense instance.

❌

Note that you do not have control or add or remove any of the accessibility features themselves. All profiles and adjustments will be displayed to all users.

To locate this file:

  1. Go to the Admin tab > App Configurations > File Management
  1. Continue to the plugins folder > QBeeQAccessibility folder > select the config.js file

You can edit the file's code directly in the user interface. Once you've completed your edits, a script will be generated specifically for your site.

Performance

The Accessibility App does not interfere at all with a site’s source code and works through the use of JavaScript code that will only change the code on the browser level of an end-user.

The Accessibility App loads asynchronously, meaning that the browser does not wait for it to load to show your site or allow visitors to take action. Therefore the Accessibility App does not affect site loading times or the site optimization score.

Using the Accessibility App

Once installed, the Accessibility App is available for all users. Users can make further adjustments, either with the profiles or standalone adjustments. When an accessibility feature is configured, the dashboard will refresh when the user closes the accessibility popup. If the popup is closed by clicking outside of it, then the refresh will happen on the next click.

Select a profile

Accessibility profiles are pre-defined combinations of accessibility features designed to address the needs of specific user groups with disabilities. Users can activate a profile that matches their needs, and the relevant features will be activated simultaneously.
