Elements is keyboard navigable
- Screen reader
Elements can mostly be used with a screen reader.
There are a few issues encountered when using a screen reader with Elements. Although these do not prevent usage of Elements, they do cause some unnecessary barriers.
Those using a screen reader with a keyboard should set 'My Actions' to list view, whilst those using a cursor should view 'My Actions' as a slider.
- Tablet & mobile devices
Elements can be used on a table or mobile device but we advise using a computer for the best experience.
