Section 508 - Missing Alternative Text

XMLWordPrintable

      Summary

      Image alternative text is not present (an image does not have an alt attribute).

      Impacted elements from the main dashboard:

      • /images/icons/profilepics/default.png
      • /system-template-resources/assets/images/welcome.png

      Why It Matters

      Each image must have an alt attribute. Without alternative text, the content of an image will not be available to screen reader users or when the image is unavailable.

      How to Fix It

      Add an alt attribute to the image. The attribute value should accurately and succinctly present the content and function of the image. If the content of the image is conveyed in the context or surroundings of the image, or if the image does not convey content or have a function, it should be given empty/null alternative text (alt="").

            We need to create subtasks with a description of where images are located.
