Accessibility support has been added to make apps accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS now includes support for accessibility in some widgets and themes for 2D apps. With incremental releases, more widgets and themes will support accessibility. Currently, it is only applicable for a 2D app at run time. It is not supported during configuration of the app.
The tables below contain the supported screen readers, widgets, and themes for Web AppBuilder.
Note:
The table contents are subject to change with incremental releases.
