AccVerify Rule and Report Settings

Configuring AccVerify

In order for us to make all our web pages compliant with Section 508 guidelines, it is essential that we run all reports using identical rule settings. By having the same rule settings in AccVerify, there will be no surprises when the campus reports come out. To this end, we have decided to display the AccRule Settings used to run the campus reports.

Rule Settings

To open rule settings, run AccVerify and go to Settings → Accessibility Rule Settings… and the Accessibility Rule Settings dialog box will open.

Basic, Image Maps, Table, Frames, and Non W3C need to be check marked.

For checkpoint 6.3.8, edit the text to include ".pdf+adobe;.doc+word;.xls+excel;.ppt+powerpoint".

For checkpoint (o), edit the text to include "Skip to the content^Skip^Jump to main Content^Skip Navigation".
