Hi CDVN Community, below is a forwarded ask from Lucy Greco & Danny Grieb.
If you have a moment, please login to the Tableau Ideas Forum page linked below and upvote this feature request for improved accessibility.
Greetings,
As this year’s Tableau virtual conference approaches in early November, now is the perfect time to remind Tableau that accessibility remains a non-negotiable priority for its University of California systemwide partners and users.
One clear shortcoming of the Tableau user experience—particularly for those who are visually or mobility impaired and unable to use a mouse—is that the tabbing order for a dashboard, which screen readers rely on, can be random and nonsensical. Our dashboard development partners at The Solas Group worked with us to create this short video illustrating the problem.
If you and your organization, like UC Berkeley, insist that Tableau invest more in enhancing the accessibility of its products, please support our post in the Tableau Ideas Forum, Make Dashboards More Inclusive and Accessible: Tab Order Configuration, which promotes functionality to allow the developer to explicitly set the tab order. If you like the idea, click the thumbs up in the Tableau Ideas Forum post.
Feel free to share this with other accessibility allies and Tableau forums. Thank you for your support!
