Check scan results and findings

Once you’ve run a scan, you can view a high-level summary of the scan results. The scan results findings are broken down by accessibility health, standard, and severity to help you prioritize your remediation efforts. 

Note: The Report section of the Scan results page lists the violated rules and their related findings. You can view the list of all findings for a rule (on the Finding details page) or details of a specific finding (under Finding ID popup). You can also dismiss a finding or create a task. 

On this page:

• View scan results
• View results from a different testing tool
• Check scan results by component
• List the findings that violate a rule 
• View details of a specific finding 
• Check the component report

List the findings that violate a rule 

A finding is an instance where an accessibility rule has been violated.

   The Findings details page is displayed. 

Note: The Findings details page lists all the findings for that rule. The Finding ID column on this page shows the finding ID of each listed finding as well as its status (for example, Viewed).

View details of a specific finding 

Each finding has a unique Finding ID, and associated details.

To display the finding details of a specific finding:  

1. List the findings that violate a rule. 
2. Select an individual finding. 
3. From the Actions menu select View. The Finding ID popup window is displayed. 

Note: The Finding ID popup contains the details associated with that specific finding. 

8. Review the finding details.

   • To dismiss a finding, select the Dismiss a finding link, and follow on-screen prompts. 
   • To share the details, if you have the permission to access this feature:
     1. Select Share finding link, and then select Copy. The report for this finding is copied to your clipboard.

   8. To create a task to remediate this finding, select the Create Task button, and follow on-screen prompts. To learn more about task creation, review Create a task.
