Curam by Merative Ideas Portal

Shape the future of Curam!

We invite you to shape the future of Curam, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:

Post your ideas

Start by posting ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted and upvote them if they matter to you,

  1. Post an idea

  2. Upvote ideas that matter most to you

  3. Get feedback from the Curam team to refine your idea

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.

Receive notification on the decision

Some ideas can be implemented at Merative, while others may not fit within the development plans for the product. In either case, the team will let you know as soon as possible. In some cases, we may be able to find alternatives for ideas which cannot be implemented in a reasonable time.

SPM *required field - NOT placed at beginning of form | WCAG 3.3.2, 3.2.4, 4.1.2

The instructions should be presented to all users which prevents users from having to navigate once more through a page/form in order to fix submission errors (refer the screenshot from the WCAG)


Though the instructions exists, this wouldn't be intuitive for all users including the users with cognitive disabilities, vision disabilities (low vision users who use magnifiers or zoom, users with tunnel vision or restricted field of view etc.) and it may be overlooked. Users typically expect instructions or labels to be close to the form and are in accordance with the reading patterns typically start from the left.


Since users with limited vision may not be able to see the instruction clearly, it would effectively be missing for them. This situation would be classified as a Serious (Sev2) issue, as it directly impacts their ability to understand required fields, leading to usability and accessibility barriers.


Additionally, the instruction "* required field" is unclear. The users with various cognitive disabilities will not interpret as intended that the field marked with asterisk (*) are required and needs to be filled out. This again fails 3.3.2
