YuJa Panorama LMS Accessibility Platform Update – v25.2.0 Release

We have successfully pushed an update to all YuJa Panorama LMS Accessibility Platform instances residing in the US, Canada, Australia, Singapore, the Middle East, and the European Union. This update includes a new marketplace of accessibility products, an option to reorder the Alternative Formats Menu, customize the DocHub Experience by creating default folders, options to treat images as decorative, and more.

1. Explore Our Brand New Marketplace of Accessibility Products to Help You Create, Remediate, and Engage With Your LMS Content
   When it comes to accessibility, there is a wide range of tools that specialize in how your content looks and feels. Whether you’re looking to create a welcoming home page on your LMS or want to give your users the freedom to customize elements to suit their needs, the Marketplace is a one-stop shop with everything you need. Browse our catalog of products and see what you like. When something catches your eye, contact your dedicated Customer Success Manager, who can help you learn more and set things up for your institution.   
   
2. Customize the Alternative Formats Menu by Reordering the Placement of Formats
   As an administrator, you can now reorder the formats in the Alternative Formats Menu to suit your institution’s preferences. For example, you can prioritize frequently used formats and display them at the top of the menu for more convenient access across your institution.
   
3. Customize the DocHub Experience by Creating Default Folders
   As an administrator, you can now create default DocHub folders, allowing you to set up specific folder structures based on your institution’s preferences for content management. Please note that users must be added after creating default folders for those folders to appear to them.
   
4. The Issues Report Provides an Overview of All Issues and in Which Courses They Occur
   When reviewing the issue report, administrators can now see all courses with a specific accessibility issue, along with the number of occurrences. This allows you to quickly locate courses with the highest instances of any particular issue and address them efficiently.
   
5. New Option to Automatically Exclude Decorative Images from Being Flagged as Issues
   In certain cases, your content may contain images marked as decorative with an empty alt tag (alt=””) or a custom decorative tag. To ensure that these types of images are not flagged as issues, YuJa Panorama now offers more flexibility for you to treat these images as decorative.
   
6. Verify that Hyperlinked Text is Descriptive
   Descriptive text for hyperlinks can be useful so that users have context on where the link will take them. However, in cases where the full URL needs to be displayed, such as a work cited page, you can now verify that it is not to be flagged as an issue in the Accessibility Report.
7. New Accessibility Check for Excessive Heading Levels in HTML Content
   We’ve expanded Panorama’s capabilities in detecting heading tags that exceed six levels for HTML content in the WYSIWYG editor, ensuring better compliance with the latest WCAG accessibility guidelines.
   
8.  Expanded Branding Options for Enhanced Customization
   We’ve expanded the branding settings to offer greater flexibility in customizing icons and the interface to match your institution’s preferences. Key updates include:
   • WYSIWYG Gauge Size: Customize its size to ensure a consistent display alongside other icons within your LMS’s WYSIWYG editor.
   • Login Page Branding: Upload a preferred logo for the login page to better align with your institution’s branding.
   • Predefined Color Options for Top Bar: Choose from modernized, high-contrast color options to maintain visual accessibility while matching your institution’s branding.
9. Fix Outdated File Formats Issue Within the Accessibility Report
   We’ve enhanced YuJa Panorama’s capabilities to not only identify outdated file formats and provide how-to-fix suggestions, but also offer an instant fix. Simply click the Fix Issue button to update your file format to the latest version.
