Accessibility of Finsemble Polyfill on io.Connect
Finsemble has merged with Glue42 to form interop.io. This documentation site remains available for existing Finsemble clients. For our latest platform, products, and documentation, visit https://docs.interop.io/
At interop.io we take accessibility seriously. We are committed to providing the best possible experience to all our clients of our products.
Both default Finsemble color schemes and all other visual elements follow level AA color contrast. The one exception is the Central Logger, which doesn’t use the Finsemble theme. We support keyboard navigation with small exceptions listed in the table. For keyboard accessibility we have added a number of keyboard shortcuts.
These tables present WCAG 2.1 Level A and Level AA accessibility criteria and show how Finsemble addresses them. Some criteria are partially supported and some are not supported.

If you are using a 3rd-party screen reader, such as NVDA, you will need to restart your reader after launching Finsemble.
We did not include deprecated components in our accessibility assessment. Components such as the deprecated Linker menu or the Advanced App Launcher do not have accessibility support. We recommend that you use updated components to maximize the accessibility of your version of Finsemble.
