Audit finding
Text filters are difficult to use
User impact
The issue creates an accessibility barrier in the affected workflow, screen, or component.
Remediation plan
Standardize the filter interaction so state, focus movement, visible controls, and result updates are predictable and accessible in the administration interface.
Steps to reproduce
- Open Global Configuration > Text filters within the Atum Global settings.
- Locate each text filter.
- Enter, clear, and apply filter values using the keyboard.
- Inspect labels, associations, focus, and result updates.
- Observe difficult or unpredictable use.
Version
6.1
Expected result
UI does not truncate controls or fields. All fields are visible irrespective of viewport size.
Actual result
The text filters are difficult and confusing to use. While the issues individually just barely meet the threshold of violations, their combination makes the UI difficult to use, especially on small screens. The table also shows cut off in a small viewport, which makes orientation difficult, especially with the constraint width due to extra padding on the page:
