Accessibility of XpoLog Web and the CLI

The XpoLog CLI and SDK is fully accessible, and covers many of the functions available in XpoLog GUI. The CLI is text-only by definition and designed for usability for all users, regardless of accessibility needs.

 

As GUI is sometime preferred, XpoLog GUI is designed with the following accessibility features: 

  • Form fields are labeled, and ALT text describes elements and images.

  • Form fields and dialog boxes have on-screen indication of focus, as supported by the Web browser.

  • XpoLog GUI does not override user-defined style sheets.

  • No additional on-screen focus is implemented for links, buttons or other elements that do not have browser-implemented visual focus.

  • Analyzed data and widgets results are available via CSV for text only view without style sheets.

  • Most data tables implemented with HTML use headers and markup to identify data as needed. 

Generally, XpoLog GUI does not include any blinking or flashing components. However, using real-time search  or real-time widgets causes the page to update constantly. Real-time search is easily disabled to avoid such behavior.
