Accessibility
What is accessible in the system and what is not: keyboard navigation, screen readers, color as one channel among several, and what replaces a graph.
The system is built to IS 5568 level AA. This page describes the adjustments that actually exist and the parts that are not accessible — it is not a declaration of conformance.
[VERIFY] — a formal accessibility statement for the product will be published only after a documented accessibility audit. This site's own accessibility statement is a separate document and does not cover the product.
Keyboard navigation
The first thing Tab reaches on any screen is the Skip to main content link. It moves focus into the content rather than only scrolling to it — without it, every navigation would begin by tabbing through the whole sidebar tree again.
| Shortcut | What it does |
|---|---|
| ⌘K · Ctrl K | Opens global search, from any screen |
? | Opens the keyboard shortcut list |
Ctrl+B · [ | Collapses or expands the sidebar |
| Esc | Closes a dialog, menu or floating panel |
| Shift + click on a column header | Adds another sort level instead of replacing the sort |
| Ctrl+Enter | Saves a comment in a cell without leaving it with the mouse |
Shortcuts are matched on the physical key rather than on the character it produces, so they work on a Hebrew keyboard layout too. The shortcut list is not a catalog of intentions: every line in it is a shortcut that was implemented.
Every reachable control draws a visible focus ring, and it is drawn only for keyboard navigation — a mouse click does not paint it.
Screen readers
- The active sidebar row is announced as the current page.
- The location bar is a labeled navigation region containing an ordered list, so the trail reads as a trail.
- Hebrew and right-to-left are supported throughout, not only visually.
Color is not the only channel
Charts draw a pattern fill on top of the color, so a series stays distinguishable without relying on hue. On radar charts, which carry no pattern fill, each series gets its own dash pattern. An event's status badge always carries the word itself, not only the color.
Reduced motion
The system honors the operating system's reduced-motion preference (prefers-reduced-motion): transitions and animations stop, and charts draw themselves without an entry animation.
What is not accessible, and what replaces it
The graphs themselves are not keyboard-navigable and are not re-laid-out for right-to-left. That is a limitation of the charting engine, and it is not hidden here.
What is done instead:
- Every graph has a parallel table view carrying exactly the same data, from the same computation.
- A route between two systems is also rendered as a numbered list, and it stays on screen after the pointer leaves — so it can be screenshotted, read aloud and reached by keyboard.
- The route's endpoint pickers are ordinary select fields, not a click on a node in the graph.
From which follows a rule the product holds to: no capability exists only inside a graph. If something is possible in the graph alone, it is missing.
