This feature is currently in beta. To learn more about joining the beta program, reach out to our team at beta@levelaccess.com.

Identify the most widespread issues across your organization with common findings, a centralized view that groups recurring accessibility issues into a single, high-impact entry based on rule, engine, element, and URL.

Access common findings

To access common findings:

Select Organization from the platform top-level navigation, and based on your permissions, you can see common findings and the program dashboard. 

A table displays grouped issues with the following fields:

Common finding types

Only automated findings are included in common findings. Manual findings are not eligible.

Common findings generate from the following automated sources:

• On-demand scans (also referred to as ad hoc scans)
• Monitoring
• Automated flows
• Browser extension
• Desktop Crawler App (DCA)
• Continuum SDKs
• Public APIs

Prioritize and explore common findings

To review, prioritize, and take action on common findings:

1. Identify high-impact issues. You can prioritize findings that are:
   
   • Marked as Critical
   • Found in a high number of instances
   • Affecting multiple websites/pages
2. Open a common finding by selecting the Common ID hyperlink to open the Common Finding Details page.
3. On the Details page, you can find:
   
   • A clear description of the issue.
   • Remediation guidance to support fixes.
   • Element similarities to help developers address the issue across multiple instances.
   • A breakdown of severity, affected assets/pages, and related standards or criteria.
4. Scroll to the bottom of the page to access the Findings list. A table shows all individual findings grouped under the selected common finding.

From the Findings list, you can:

• Open the Finding Detail page, which includes context from the original scan or monitoring result.
• View the affected webpage where the issue appears.
• Go to the Overview Dashboard for broader insights.

Pages filter

To open the filter panel:
Select the Settings button in the top-right corner of the common findings landing page to open the filter options.

You can filter from a broad organizational view to targeted insights at the workspace or digital asset level.

Filter by Engine

You can narrow your view by selecting the testing engine that detected the findings. All four engines

supported by the platform are available:

• Access Engine (default)
• Equal Access
• WAVE
• axe-core

This is useful if your team relies on a specific tool for automated testing.

Filter by Data Level

Use the Data Level Filter to adjust the scope of your analysis:

• Organization (default): View findings across all workspaces and digital assets.
• Workspace: Focus on findings within a specific workspace.
• Digital asset: Drill into issues on a specific website or property.

This is intended for organizations structured  the a11y program by:

• Brand
• Region
• Business unit
• Website

The filter currently supports only digital asset types classified as web properties.

The user preference is saved when the user leaves the page. 

Live data

Common findings display live data. When a scan or monitoring session is complete:

• The view is updated to reflect new or modified findings
• You can refresh the page to see the latest results.

Permissions

Access permissions determine the information displayed in common findings, such as filter options and data:

• Organization admins: View all data across the organization.
• Workspace admins: View data only within their assigned workspace.
• Digital property users: View data only for the digital assets they are authorized to access.
