Adding accessible descriptors

Writing accessible page names

Screen readers and other assistive technologies use page names as accessible descriptors.

To give the pages in your app names:

1. Open your app.
2. Select the main page of your app. The Properties panel opens.
3. Add an accessible title using the Page title property.

Writing accessible descriptions

Most input controls contain at least one or two of the Label, Hint text or Tooltip properties. A number of display controls contain at least the Tooltip property. Screen readers use the values of the Label, Hint text and Tooltip fields as accessible descriptions.

Note:

Avoid using separate Label controls to name your controls. Use one or more of the control properties as accessible descriptions.

To fill in the Label, Tooltip or Hint text properties of the controls in your app:

1. Open your app.
2. Select an input control. The Properties panel opens.
3. Add accessible text to the Tooltip, Label or Hint text properties in the General tab.
