Accessibility Issues in Power Pages Forms

Applies to Product - Power Pages

What’s happening?
Accessibility issues in Power Pages forms, specifically related to missing aria-labels on subgrid data tables, which are not passing accessibility testing.
 

Reason:
The subgrids used in Power Pages forms are missing titles on the data tables, leading to accessibility testing failures. This has been present but was only identified during recent accessibility testing.
 

Resolution:

1. To add titles to subgrids in Power Pages, configure the subgrid metadata:
2. Go to Basic Form Metadata using either the top drop-down list or the subgrid on the main form of the record you are working on.
3. Select "New Basic Form Metadata" to add a new record or select an existing record to edit.
4. Ensure the Subgrid Type is set to "Subgrid."
5. Assign a name to the Subgrid Name field in the properties window of the subgrid.
6. Specify a valid subgrid name to display the subgrid configuration settings.
7. For further details, refer to the documentation on configuring basic forms and subgrids:
   • Basic Forms
   • Multistep Forms
   • Subgrid Configuration
8. Use the "Accessibility Insights for Web" tool to check for accessibility issues and ensure compliance with WCAG standards.
9. If issues persist, consider implementing JavaScript to manually set aria-labels for subgrid tables.
10. For any configuration issues, run the Site Checker tool to identify and resolve potential problems:
