Siteimprove provides a view of the overall progress you have made on fixing accessibility issues using the Accessibility module. The accessibility overview can be considered a ready-made accessibility dashboard for your site that provides the following:

  • A quick status update for your site

  • Tracked progress towards your site target

  • Overview to help you decide which issues to focus on next

Siteimprove's Accessibility module does not show who corrected specific issues.

Review Accessibility Progress

  1. Log into Siteimprove.

  2. Click on the Site drop-down button to display a list of Sites that you have access to. Select your Site. (in the example below we selected “NMSU Branding - http://brand.nmsu.edu”).

     

  3. Select Accessibility from the main menu.

  4. Select Accessibility Overview.

  5. The Accessibility Overview will provide two areas where you can review your progress - the Resolved Issue table and the Progress graph. Different export options are available depending on the component being exported.

Working with the progress over time graph

The progress over time graph provides an overview of the history of issues and potential issues that were recorded for your site. You can toggle between the number of issues or occurrences recorded and select the rolling time period to display in the graph or choose a custom date range. The issues are broken down into Level A, Level AA, WAI-ARIA authoring practices, accessibility best practices and the number of pages.

 

Exporting data from the progress over time graph

  1. From the progress over time widget, select the CSV button.

     

  2. Select the data set details you would like to download. All pages or the current page only.
