This
accessibility statement applies to the University of Oulu service e-Forms – Electronic forms and has
been updated on September 11, 2025. It was first published on December 3, 2019. The Act on the Provision of Digital Services obliges us
as a public sector organisation to comply with accessibility requirements in our
digital services.
The statement is based on an accessibility assesment prepared by an accessibility expert at Exove oy.
Partially
meets accessibility requirements.
A form control has more than one label
associated with it. A form control should have at most one associated label
element. If more than one label element is associated to the control, assistive
technology may not read the appropriate label.
o 1.1.1 Non-text content
A layout table is present. Layout tables exist
merely to position content visually - to create columns, insert spacing, or
align content neatly for sighted users. They can introduce reading and
navigation order issues. Screen readers may interpret them as data tables
(i.e., announcing column and row numbers). This introduces significant overhead
on screen reader users.
o 1.3.1 Info and relationships
The drop-down menu for certain form fields is
not fully visible if the form is used vertically on a mobile device. It is
necessary to change the device to landscape orientation to see the entire
contents of the page.
o 1.3.4. Orientation
The contrast in the logged-in user information displayed at the top of the page is not sufficient in pointing and hovering.
o 1.4.3. Contrast (minimum)
Some column headings in a table element
disappear if the text size is increased by more than 150 %.
o 1.4.4 Resize text
In the admin view, the contrast of the question mark icon in the additional information field of the forms is low.
o 1.4.11 Non-text Contrast
The service has a 90-minute time-out, after
which the user is logged out automatically. It is not possible to adjust the
time limit. The user will not receive a separate warning before time expires. (The
time-out is informed in notification text on the front page.)
o 2.2.1 Timing Adjustable
The forms worklow text areas do not have accessible name.
o 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value
The div elements surrounding the date fields have attributes that do not belong to them.
o 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value
