Shared Scripts: Streamline User Flows and Session Management
Axe Monitor admins can now add Shared Scripts, and scan admins can apply those scripts to multiple scans or scan groups in a simple bulk action. You can even create a master script to share across all your sites. Also you can edit environment variables such as authentication details from the user interface (UI) without uploading a new script. .yml files are now supported in addition to .JSON scripts.
Bulk actions on Scans List
From the homepage of axe Monitor, new bulk actions allow you to favorite or unfavorite scans, apply presets, shared scripts, or delete scans if you are an admin.
More Control over PDFs
If you’re scanning for both webpages and PDFs in a single scan, you can now control how many PDFs are returned, and whether to include older PDFs. These features are useful if you are required to keep old PDFs online, or requirements in your accessibility program to report on PDFs, but the files don’t change very often. You may select a target number of PDFs to include in your results, and choose to scan only PDFs modified since a certain date.
Share Scan Links
If you work with contractors, agencies, or in a large distributed organization, the public share link allows you to generate a link that does not require log-in from the Scan Overview. The public share link only allows access to that scan’s results. Axe Monitor admins can control whether public share links are available.
Note for upgrading customers: You will need to redistribute any “share report” links you used on versions 7.5+ or earlier of axe Monitor. Contact Support for assistance.
API for Scan Results
The new axe Monitor API is available for retrieving results data, compatible with scans and scan groups in versions 8.1+. Learn more about the API
New Supported Languages
axe Monitor is now available in Spanish, French, Italian, German, and Japanese languages. To select your preferred language, update your browser’s settings.
