Advanced Improvements - Accessibility

A dashboard is set up (called *Web Monitoring dashboard - Accessibility and PDFS) in Siteimprove to help users manage content on the web. It is intended to:

• Help keep track of what pages or documents need modified or removed
• Help identify PDFs that need remediation for accessibility

To use the *Web Monitoring dashboard - Accessibility and PDFS report: 

1. Login to siteimprove
2. Ensure the correct content is selected
   1. Site: Northwest Missouri State University
   2. Group: 'select the group relevant to you'
3. Select "*Web Monitoring dashboard - Accessibility and PDFs" in the dashboard dropdown
   1. feel free to browse the many other dashboards and learn more about your web content
4. Reach out to webteam with questions.

1. I fixed something, but its still in Siteimprove, why?
   • Siteimprove dashboard delay - it rescans the site every 5 days, but you can force a rescan of a page or document by clicking the 'circling arrow' refresh icon next to the asset. 
2. There are things I don't know how to fix, what do I do? 
   • Leadership and the web team will always be here to assist, but the volume of content on the web makes it difficult to fix all the issues without input from content managers/web coordinators. 
   • You aren't expected to fix anything on your own, web team will assist correcting any issue you find. 
3. Are the web pages you are responsible for updated and accessible on the Northwest website? 
   • Yes. The Web Team uses Siteimprove to help with accessibility on the web. Siteimprove’s web accessibility tools enable you and our office to easily follow and adhere to international Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) across all conformance levels (Northwest has a goal to maintain AA conformance).
