Overview module
Open the Accessibility module in the TYPO3 backend. On TYPO3 13 it is below Web, on TYPO3 14 below Content.
The overview lists every scanned page with its open findings.
First steps
Without a selected page, the module explains how AQG works: select a page of a TYPO3 Site in the page tree, run a content scan, then check what visitors' browsers render with a frontend scan. Until the first content scan of a site, the Content scan tab shows the same steps next to the scan buttons. The content scan runs inside the installation and needs no licence key.
Installations without a licence learn about the Free Remote Preview there: a browser-based scan of single pages on the AQG service without licence key, account or email, for sites that are reachable from the internet. After the first content scan, a short pointer on the Content scan tab opens it; the pointer disappears once the site has a Free Remote Preview result. Licensed installations are not shown these Free steps.
Update notice
When a newer stable AQG release is available, administrators see one line at the top of the Overview and the Settings view, for example AQG 2.0.0 is available · You're using 1.9.8., with links to the release notes and the update instructions. The close button hides the notice of that release for the administrator; the choice is stored in their backend user settings, so other administrators still see it and a later release appears again. AQG never downloads or installs an update itself, see Updating the extension.
Content scan and Frontend scan
The overview has two tabs:
- Content scan
- Findings produced by the local rules (
rte.*,structured.*) and by the rendered page check (rendered.*). Available in all editions. - Frontend scan
- Findings produced by the hosted browser crawler. Shows the Free Remote Preview status in the Free edition and the full scan history with an active licence. See Frontend scans (remote crawler).
Both tabs offer filtering by site, language, status and severity, a search over pages, and paging. New findings compared to the previous scan are marked as new.
Actions
- Scan site
- Scans the whole page tree of the selected site: the local rules for every page, plus the rendered page check for the supported frontend pages of that subtree. Can be hidden for non-administrators with the TSconfig option options.a11y_quality_gate.showScanAll.
- Scan this page
- Scans a single page with the local rules and the rendered page check, see Rendered page checks. Can be hidden for non-administrators with options.a11y_quality_gate.showScanNow.
- Settings
- Opens the configuration described in Configuration.
Export buttons produce CSV of local findings in all editions. CSV of frontend scan results and PDF of either require an active licence, see Reports and exports.
Toolbar item and page module indicator
AQG also adds an item to the backend toolbar that shows the accessibility state of the current page and offers a direct scan. It can be hidden for non-administrators with options.a11y_quality_gate.showToolbarItem.
In the Page module, an indicator on content elements links directly to the findings of that element. While a scan of the page is running, also one started in the Accessibility module, the page's indicator shows its progress and updates itself with the result once the scan has ended.
