Business Services/Create Objects : Expand/collapse icon Inaccessible by keyboard and no conforming alternative.

Issue Summary

The element is not accessible by keyboard alone and there is no conforming accessible version of the same functionality reachable from the non-conforming page.

Element:

• Expand/collapse icon

Location:
Present on the left navigation

Steps to Reproduce

1. Launch the URL
2. Navigate to the left navigation area.
3. Observe the elements such as "Hardware", "Software", "Organization" and "Configuration" have expand/collapse icons, present in the left navigation area.
4. While using tab functionality through the left navigation panel we can observe that keyboard support is missing for expand/collapse icon.

Actual Results

In the left navigation panel for the Object in the Object schema, the element expand/collapse icons have missing keyboard support. When the keyboard-only users and screen reader users navigate to the Objects such as "Business services ", "Hardware" etc. they receive the focus, but the icon element which expands the objects does not receive the focus. The expand collapse icon elements are active with the mouse click. This will make the keyboard only users difficult to use this feature.

Expected Results

The interactive element should receive keyboard focus and screen reader focus. Here's how the element could be made more accessible :

• Assign a role="button" to the icon element, as the behaviour is moreover like a button.
• The property such as: aria-expanded="false" - indicates that the container controlled by the disclosure button is hidden and aria-expanded="true" - Indicates that the container controlled by the disclosure button is visible.
• Ensure the expand/collapse icon is associated with the object which is to be expanded, eg. when the screen reader is on the expand icon for "Hardware", it should announce "Expand Hardware".
