Access keys

 

The research portal and internal application support the usage of access keys for an easy access to special parts of the page. To use these access keys a special key combination is used, which is depending on the browser used:

  • Internet Explorer: Use the ALT key followed by the access key to focus on the target element. Press ENTER to activate or click the target element.
  • Chrome: Use the ALT key followed by the access key to focus on the target element. If the target element can be activated or clicked this will be done automatically.
  • Firefox: Use the ALTSHIFT key followed by the access key to focus on the target element. If the target element can be activated or clicked this will be done automatically.
  • For other browsers please refer to the manual of this browser to find how access keys can be used.

The following access keys can be used in the research portal and internal application (for simplification only the format for Internet Explorer and Chrome is shown, modify the key sequence as needed):

  • ALT0: Opens the startpage.

Limitations and alternatives

Despite our best efforts to ensure accessibility of Converis Portal and Internal Application, there may be some limitations. Below is a description of known limitations, and potential solutions.

Known limitations for Converis Portal:

  1. None to our knowledge

Known limitations for Converis Internal Application:

  1. Pages do not have a responsive layout: If the internal pages are opened on a small screen, the layout will not respond to this and reorganize to an optimized layout on the small screen because Converis was built for use at a desktop screen. It therefore uses many fixed sizes in its UI. We will be working on this issue and will release a solution as soon as possible.
  2. Publication Import Process not fully accessible yet: The screens in the publication import feature have not yet been fully adapted to comply with WCAG2.1
  3. My Settings page: Accessibility violation loading gif container
