Lumar’s accessibility reports are logically grouped into the WCAG levels and categories, to make finding the information you need as easy as possible. 

You can see all of the reports in one place by clicking on ‘All Reports’ above the accessibility score on the accessibility overview dashboard.

Each category then has a set of reports in it. For example, in the Level A > ARIA A section, you’ll see reports covering issues for screen readers related to Level A of the WCAG guidelines. 

At the top of each report, you’ll see an option to ‘Show Help’ at the top, next to the title of the report. Clicking this will open up some guidance on the issues within the report, to help you understand the priority and the impact that fixing the issue will have. Once you’ve got the details you need, you can hide the help again. 

At the top of the report, you’ll see two charts. On the left, you’ll see a trend graph for the issue, so you can see progress and see any spikes related to the issue. On the right a bar chart shows you the other issues within the same category (e.g. Aria A) with the number of URLs affected, from the most instances to the least. This allows you to quickly navigate between the reports as required.

Underneath the charts, you’ll see the report table which details each issue in a separate row. The columns that appear in the table will depend on the report you’re in, but will generally include the following:

• URL Details - Here you’ll see details of the issue, including:
  • Issue Digest - This is a link that you can click on to get more information (see below).
  • Rule ID - The accessibility test that found the issue.
  • Element source - The specific source code on the page that has the problem.
  • Example URL - An example page that has the issue. 
  • Issue Description - A description of the issue that has been found. 
• URL Count - The number of URLs that this issue has been found on. 
• Issue Severity - The severity of the issue from the WCAG guidelines. 
• WCAG Level - Which level of the WCAG guidelines the issue relates to. 
• WCAG Success Criteria - The reference of the success criteria from the W3 website. 

Within the table, you can drag and drop the columns into a different order, and clicking on the ellipses gives you the opportunity to sort by ascending or descending, hide the column, or show columns so you can add in any others that you want to.

You can also add and remove columns by using the columns button at the top of the table. 

NOTE: You can also filter reports by traffic, so you can focus your attention on the most important pages—those that are getting the most amount of visitors. Find out more about filtering Lumar reports by traffic.

At the top of the table, you’ll also see the option to filter the report. Simply click on the ‘Filters’ option and choose the filter criteria using either a single rule, or multiple rules using ‘And’ or ‘Or’ options. Once you’ve chosen the filters you need, just click apply filters. Once this is complete, you’ll see a number to the right ‘Filters’ to show how many filters are applied to the table.

To the right of the filter options, you’ll also see a toggle between a ‘Table View’ and ‘Grid View’. By default, you’ll see the table view, which has the URL details aggregated into a single cell. Switching to the grid view will split this information out into different cells. 

On the right hand side of the table header, you’ll see an option to increase the number of rows seen in the table. Next to that, you’ll see an option to export the information to CSV. When exporting, any changes you’ve made to the columns (i.e. reordering or adding columns) and any filters you’ve applied will be reflected in the CSV download. Just click to generate the CSV and the file will download. You can also return here to regenerate or redownload the file if required.
