Details of the Scans Page – Scan List
The Scans page displays a list of scans shared with the user. Each user has their own unique Scan List with relevant data for their work.
| Column Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Scan Name | Group (Organization) Projects are identified by their Scan name. The Scan name is a hyperlink that will direct you to its Scan Overview page. |
| Group | Groups are identified by their Organization name (from the Classic View). |
| Accessibility Score | The Accessibility Scores are calculated taking into account factors such as total number of pages, number of issues and severity of the issues. (See the Project Dashboard help page for more information about how scores are calculated.) The next three columns help view and sort the scans with varying degrees of severity, and the values - critical, serious, and moderate. The severity of the issues represent whether they are blockers or just issues marked as Needs Review that can be checked by human testers. Note: The columns can be sorted only in the desktop. |
| Critical | The number of issues or pages with one or more critical issues. Critical issues are normally blockers that prevent someone with accessibility challenges from using your site successfully. |
| Serious | The number of issues or pages with one or more serious issues. Serious issues are normally blockers that prevent someone with accessibility challenges from using your site successfully. |
| Moderate | The Accessibility and Quality Scores are calculated taking into account factors such as total number of pages, number of issues and severity of the issues. (See the Project Dashboard help page for more information about how scores are calculated.) |
| Last Scanned | This column helps you sort the scans based on the dates when they were last scanned. |
Note: Use these columns to view and sort the scans. The columns can be sorted only in the desktop view.
