Tile appearance

Tiles may appear in two different forms. If you are on the desktop, and Zoom is set to 200% or less, the tiles appear on screen with all content within them visible. If you are on mobile, or if the browser Zoom has been increased to more than 200%, the tiles visually appear as large buttons containing the name of the tile, and a decorative image. In either case, the tiles can be tabbed to, and any screen reader will read the name of the tile, followed by its state. For instance, “My Time Off Tile, 1 of 5, button collapsed”.

Navigating between tiles

Tiles are displayed on the Home page and you can Tab to them. Press Shift + Tab to go back to a previous tile. When you find the tile you want to interact with, press Enter or space to expand or enter the tile. Screen readers will announce Expanded, and focus is placed on the first interactive element in the tile. To collapse or leave a tile and return to where you can navigate between them, press Esc.

Navigating and reviewing information within tiles

Once you have entered a specific tile, you can navigate between interactive elements using Tab and Shift + Tab.

Tiles contain many different element types. Many of these elements are also found in other portions of the application. In general, you can navigate and interact with the following tile elements using the same methods throughout the system.

• Buttons usually perform an action within the tile itself and can be activated with Enter or space. In some cases, buttons may also take you to another page within the system. They can also frequently open sliders with further options and controls.
• Links are intended to take you somewhere else in the application, such as to the full-featured page related to the tile. You can activate links with Enter.
• List boxes can be opened with Enter or space. Use the up and down arrows to select the option you want, and press Enter to choose it. This closes the List box containing the option you chose, and you can Tab to the next element.
• Toggle buttons can be activated or deactivated with Enter or space. These buttons toggle an option from Yes to No or from enabled to disabled.

Not all content in a tile is interactive. When reviewing a tile with a screen reader, you can return to browse mode (NVDA) or Virtual PC cursor mode (JAWS) to read non-interactive content. When in this mode, try your screen reader’s quick access commands, such as “H” for heading.
