Accessibility Standards (0)

Choose an optional standard or import standards from a file. Enabled names appear in Report Builder and the Accessibility Lookup Tool.

    Security and Privacy

    ART is privacy-first and non-destructive. External data transfer only occurs after explicit user approval.

    Privacy Mode disabled.

    Visual Accessibility & Personalization

    Theme light. Zoom 100 percent. Font size 100 percent. Density standard.

    The selected locale is stored on this device. Date and number formatting can use it; the interface remains English until translations are reviewed.

    Preview Heading

    Preview paragraph text demonstrates the current application theme and typography choices.

    Search

    Configure the default search scope and search history.

    Auto searches the current report or Project Workspace when one is open, and all ART content otherwise. You can change the scope at any time in Search Everywhere.

    Account and Identity

    ART is available without signing in.

    Your local profile helps identify your work in future file-based collaboration. It is not an authenticated account, and ART does not store passwords, passkeys, access tokens, or session credentials here.

    Personal ART Identity Code

    Use this code to recognize this ART installation when linking additional devices to your identity in the future. Linking a different installation to this code requires ART's server-based identity service, which is not yet available.

      Privacy and User Data

      ART is local-first. Review what is stored in this browser, export your user-controlled data, or clear local ART data and session credentials. Server-hosted retention and account deletion depend on the deployment.

        Organizations and Roles

        Track the organizations you belong to and your role in each. Roles determine which local Authorization Policy checks (Owner, Admin, Editor, Contributor, Viewer) pass for organization-scoped actions. Server-enforced authorization requires ART's authentication service (Epic 49) and is not yet available.

          Organization Administration

          Only organizations where your recorded role permits administration appear here. Local records do not send invitations or change server accounts.

                Storage Providers

                ART always works with local files. Additional storage providers are optional and are never required for local functionality.

                  Google Drive Connection

                  Connecting requires a Google Drive OAuth Client ID configured by an ART administrator. ART requests access only to files it creates or you open, never your entire Google Drive. Connecting opens a Google sign-in popup; allow popups for this site if the browser blocks it.

                  Microsoft OneDrive Connection

                  Connecting requires a Microsoft Azure AD Application (Client) ID configured by an ART administrator. ART requests access only to its own App Folder (the Files.ReadWrite.AppFolder scope), never your entire OneDrive. Connecting opens a Microsoft sign-in popup; allow popups for this site if the browser blocks it.

                  Dropbox Connection

                  Connecting requires a Dropbox App Key (registered with "App folder" access) configured by an ART administrator. ART only ever accesses its own dedicated App Folder, never your entire Dropbox. Connecting opens a Dropbox sign-in popup; allow popups for this site if the browser blocks it.

                  External Integrations

                  External integrations are optional and separate from ART storage providers. Connect only the services you choose. ART's core reporting, auditing, task, and collaboration features do not require an integration.

                    Organization Statistics

                    Organization Statistics are optional.

                    Organization Statistics aggregate accessibility data across reports that share the same Organization/Client value. Enabling this adds an Organization menu and an optional Dashboard section. Stand-alone reports without an Organization/Client value continue to work normally and are never assigned to an organization.

                    Optional statistics sections

                    Turn off any section you do not want. Hidden sections are removed from the Organization Statistics dialog.

                    Organization Folders

                    Organization Folders enable file-based collaboration.

                    Configure a shared folder to enable collaboration on ART files, shared tasks, progress logs, and organization metrics. The folder can be on Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, a network drive, or any synchronized folder accessible to your system.

                    Search Analytics

                    Search analytics are stored only on this device.

                    Integrations

                    ART uses local and network-accessible file workflows for import, export, and project operations.

                    Local and network file workflows are available.

                    Use these actions to import reports, templates, and standards from local or network file locations.

                    • Local Files: Available
                    • Jira: Not connected
                    • GitHub Issues: Not connected
                    • Azure DevOps: Not connected

                    Collaboration

                    Collaboration is disabled.

                    Provider capabilities are normalized in application state and can be surfaced by future providers.

                    Current collaboration preset: Custom.

                    Permissions are not configured yet.

                    Sharing is not configured yet.

                    No collaboration sessions are active.

                    Synchronization and versioning are configured through the active provider.

                    Use Resource for private/local workflows, Workspace for team-visible reporting, and Organization for broader discoverability policies.

                    Manual Review keeps local data unchanged until you review conflicts. Metadata Priority and Append Comments automate targeted resolution behavior.

                    Live Collaboration Quick Start

                    Enter your collaboration server URL, then use Quick Start to connect and begin a live session in one step.

                    Live server offline. Configure URL and connect to begin multi-user collaboration.

                    Use Publish and Pull snapshot actions to support asynchronous collaboration through shared network storage coordinated by the live server.

                    Discovery snapshot not generated.

                    No collaboration conflicts are queued.

                          Accessibility Standard Name

                          This name will be used throughout ART wherever accessibility standards are shown.

                          Standard already exists

                          Paste Accessibility Standards As Table

                          Paste a standards table copied from a spreadsheet or document, then use the import action to add it to ART.

                          Edit Accessibility Standard JSON

                          Edit the raw JSON for this imported standard, then save the updated criteria and metadata back into ART.

                          Clear imported standards?

                          This removes all imported accessibility standards from ART. Built-in standards remain available.
