Managing Issues

Link to Managing Issues copied to clipboard

Each scan groups a list of detected issues by the accessibility rule that flagged it. Opening an individual issue will display helpful information such as a detailed description and the view's properties that discovered the issue. You'll also find a link to learn more about the issue from Deque, along with tips for resolving it. Under See more details, click the Highlight button to display a box over the affected view in the screenshot.

Custom Rulesets

Customize the issues shown in the dashboard by filtering out specific rulesets. Find the ruleset list within the Settings option of the User dropdown. Ensure the desired rules for iOS / Android are selected, then click Apply to filter all results in the table with the updated rulesets.

note

This feature is only available to admin users within the cloud deployment as it affects issue reporting for the entire organization. Users can view the rulesets but cannot edit them. Reach out to your Deque representative to request admin privileges for required users.

Issue Filtering

Do you see issues in views that are out of bounds of the screen? Issue filtering (available within Settings under the User dropdown) allows these results to be filtered out. Issue filtering will display issues of views visible to the end-user at scan time. That includes filtering out views out of bounds of the screenshot or hidden behind a dialog. All views will report issues regardless of whether they are visible if the checkbox's checked.

note

This feature is only available to admin users within the cloud deployment as it affects issue reporting for the entire organization. Users can view the settings but cannot edit them. Reach out to your Deque representative to request admin privileges for required users.
