Now Available in axe Monitor 8.2
The next evolution of axe Monitor is now available as a full SaaS offering for enterprises. The reimagined accessibility monitoring platform provides you with a clear picture of your customer experience in production. Mitigate accessibility risk and control regression with accurate testing, actionable, prioritized exports, and comprehensive reporting.
What's New
Scans in Progress View
To help you efficiently run your accessibility program at scale, the Scans List now shows scans that are currently running, pages scanned in the last hour, and total pages scanned. You can easily cancel a scan or edit your schedule from the actions column to optimize your results. This feature is helpful if you have many scans running at the same time.
System Status Information
If you have scans that have been running longer than expected, you can determine if the source of the delay may be caused by your network. A green System Operational message indicates axe Monitor is running, and a red System Down indicates a temporary problem with axe Monitor.
Additional Updates
- Axe Account admins can now turn off code snippets globally in axe Monitor from the Configuration tab in axe Account. This setting is not recommended, and may be used in rare cases where you need a higher level of security.
- To troubleshoot scan performance, scan admins can now turn off headless mode. It is generally recommended to keep this setting turned on.
Bug Fixes
- In some axe Monitor instances, presets were not correctly assigned to scans at the time of upgrade. The assignments will be automatically fixed with an upgrade to version 8.2.
- Scan Admins can now edit individual scans and add a Preset.
- When domains are left blank in a Preset, the field is now editable on applied scans.
- PDFs with invalid modified dates no longer cause scans to pause when PDF settings are used.
- Scan admins can now remove scripts when editing a scan.
- On the scan list, scan groups with a trailing space in the name can now be filtered.
- Pages with 100% score in axe Monitor are now sending accurate score information to axe Reports.
- Pages with missing accessibility scores are correctly sending information to axe Reports.
- When you select Notify me on scan settings and then edit the scan later, the setting is now correctly retained.
- When you delete a team, any scans the team was previously assigned to will complete.
- Domains can be set at the scan level if they are allowed to be edited by the preset.
- In previous versions, some scans were running at unexpected times in rare instances. All scans run at their scheduled times in version 8.2.
Known Issues
- When Notify me is selected on a scan, all scan admins currently receive a notification when the scan completes.
- When "Test for best practices" is checked in scan settings and later unchecked, the scan continues to test for best practices.
- Some text, such as "test for best practices" and "Status columns" are not properly translated to Spanish, French, Italian, and German.
- PDFs scanned between April 1 and April 8 will not be displayed.
