Accessibility features
Axiom Booking is built and tested to WCAG 2.2 Level AA. This page lists what is specific to the app: the keys for its scheduler, lists and menus, the alternative to every drag, and how to read its PDFs. How we test, and the parts provided by other companies, are in our accessibility statement.
Moving around a page
Section titled “Moving around a page”- Skip to main content is the first thing Tab reaches on every page. Press Enter to jump past the menu.
- Opening a page moves focus to its heading, so a screen reader starts at the top of the new content.
- Escape closes the side panel on top, and focus returns to whatever opened it. With two panels open, it closes one at a time.
- Escape also closes a dialog and returns focus in the same way.
The scheduler
Section titled “The scheduler”Tab moves from the toolbar to the calendar, then through each booking on view, then out of the scheduler. The toolbar is a single stop: move along it with Left arrow and Right arrow.
| Where | Key | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| A time in the calendar | Arrow keys | Move between times and rows |
| An empty time | Enter | Starts a new booking at that time, if you are allowed to add bookings |
| A time, in Slots mode | Enter | Starts a new slot, or opens the menu of the slot already there |
| A booking | Enter | Opens its menu: Edit, View, Cancel and Link, where you have permission for each |
| A day or booking in Month view | Enter | Opens that day |
In a booking or slot menu, Up arrow and Down arrow move, Home and End jump to the first and last item, and Enter chooses. Escape or Tab closes the menu and returns you to the booking.
Each list, such as Clients or Booking Types, is a table you move through with the arrow keys.
- Every row has an Actions button. Enter, Space or Alt + Down arrow opens its menu.
- In that menu, Up arrow and Down arrow move, Enter chooses, and Escape closes it.
- The search box, Include Inactive and New sit above the list, and the page buttons below it.
Fields
Section titled “Fields”| Field | How to use it |
|---|---|
| Dropdown lists | Alt + Down arrow opens the list, starting at the current choice. Up arrow and Down arrow move, Enter chooses, and Escape closes |
| Dates | Type the date as day, month and year, or open the calendar with its Open calendar button |
| Colour (booking types) | Enter on the Choose Colour button opens the picker. Arrow keys move the marker; Tab moves on through the sliders, the HEX and RGB boxes, Apply and Cancel |
The colour picker stays open while you Tab through it. Tab past Cancel, or Shift + Tab back from the marker, closes it. You can also type a HEX value instead of using the marker.
Doing without dragging
Section titled “Doing without dragging”Anything you can drag has another way to do it.
| Instead of | Do this |
|---|---|
| Dragging a booking to another time, space or provider | Open its menu, choose Edit, and change the date, times, space or session provider |
| Dragging the edge of a booking to change its length | Choose Edit and change the start or end time |
| Dragging across several times to choose a range | Choose one time, then set the start and end times in the panel that opens |
| Dropping a file onto an upload area | Choose Browse, or press Enter or Space on the upload area |
PDF invoices and receipts
Section titled “PDF invoices and receipts”Invoices, including deposit and supplementary invoices, credit notes and receipts are tagged PDFs. A screen reader can tell their headings, tables and totals apart, and your logo has a text description.
