Quickbase is a mature platform with hundreds of thousands of active users. We are committed to making Quickbase accessible to all of our users—including people with physical, motor, and visual disabilities.
To achieve this, we’ve been developing and iterating our platform for over 20 years. We understand that accessibility is a process, not a project. That's why our designers work closely with developers to continually enhance usability and accessibility across product areas.
Accessibility standards
Quickbase aims to meet WCAG 2.2 AA standards in our new and upgraded features that are designed to be consumed by end-users on the web. For specific details on how Quickbase complies with WCAG 2.2 AA standards, refer to our latest Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) report. This report assumes applications are built for end users using the most recent features and user interface components provided by Quickbase.
Our goal is to incrementally improve accessibility in our builder features, app management features, and mobile platform. Customers can consult with their account team for review
Testing and evaluation
Our accessibility testing process includes:
Automated testing
Manual testing with our QA team and various assistive technologies
Third-party testing with an outside vendor that provides access to a diverse community of people with disabilities, who use various assistive technologies
We evaluate our built-in, default, and offered capabilities. Some requirements may be up to the specific application-building patterns created by the builder.
Quickbase uses the following operating systems and screen readers for evaluation:
VoiceOver (Mac)
JAWS (Windows)
NVDA (Windows)
We also perform manual accessibility testing and keyboard testing with a visual focus.
Examples of accessibility enhancements
ARIA landmarks for assistive technologies
We've improved the ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Application) landmarks in our platform. These landmarks help screen readers and other assistive technologies understand the purpose of certain page elements. As a result, people who use assistive technologies are able to navigate the major areas of a Quickbase page more quickly.
Skip navigation links
We've added skip link support in our navigation menu. This gives screen reader and keyboard users the ability to quickly jump to the main content of a page—without having to navigate through global elements like search and navigation.
Keyboard navigation for dashboard filters
Many users rely on keyboard navigation to use our platform. In Dashboards, you can use your keyboard to navigate into the menu and through the entire filter page. This allows everyone to access the form fields they need to add a filter.
Keyboard navigation in timeline reports
You can move through the timeline report using arrow keys and trigger additional information using the spacebar or enter keys.
ARIA labels for screen readers in table reports
Toolbar icon buttons have accessible ARIA labels to convey their functionality to screen-reader users. All interactive elements are keyboard navigable, as well.
User dialog management
Dialogs follow an accessibility pattern that manually moves focus to them when opened. This allows users to easily interact with and navigate through dialogs.
Contact for accessibility feedback
We always appreciate any feedback related to accessibility and usability so that we may continue to improve.
