Help Curam prioritize your ideas and requests

The Curam team may need your help to refine the ideas so they may ask for more information or feedback. The offering manager team will then decide if they can begin working on your idea. If they can start during the next development cycle, they will put the idea on the priority list. Each team at Merative works on a different schedule, where some ideas can be implemented right away, others may be placed on a different schedule.

AODA: Form elements do not contain visible label, and do not conform with WCAG 2.0 Guideline 3.3.2 Level A

Description:
The elements do not contain visible label tag

Every form / input element must have a visible <label> tag that's not solely labeled using hidden labels, or the title or aria-describedby attributes. E.g., <input type="text" aria-labelledby="search">

Why it Matters: The title and aria-describedby attributes are used to provide additional information such as a hint. Hints are exposed to accessibility APIs differently than labels and as such, this can cause problems with assistive technologies. When form inputs such as text entry fields, radio buttons, check boxes, and select menus contain no labels other than title and aria-describedby attribute values, screen readers interpret the content as advisory information only. Labels created by the title and aria-describedby values are not sufficient to create a true label that can be determined programmatically from the code to convey the purpose of the input form element.

Steps to Reproduce: (Scenario 1 - Edit Income Reporting Evidence)
1. Log in as a Caseworker
2. Navigate to income support page
3. Navigate to Evidence tab
4. Open the income reporting evidence
5. From the ellipsis, select "Continue Editing"
6. From the modal, locate the input field
Result / Issue: The input element is missing a required label tag

Resolution: The input elements are using label tags.

Fix Suggestion (Example only):

<label for="rtype">Report Type:</label> <input type="text" name="rtype" id="rtype"><br>
<label for="rname">Report Name:</label> <input type="text" name="rname" id="rname">

This provides a one-to-one mapping between the label and the element. This is the expected usage for labeling as it is supported by all modern browsers and all major assistive technologies for all form / input elements.

Following pages are with the defect (but not limited to):

  1. Notes page

  2. Person Search page

  3. Edit Note page

  4. Person > Financials page

Note: This doesn't conform to Best Practices, however, it could potentially fail the 3.3.2: Labels or Instructions (A) success criteria
