Covered in this session:

  • Understanding form fields
    • Why this is important?
  • The reporting of corrective actions related to 'Add label to form field'.
  • How to view and managing corrective action.

By ensuring that form fields have a label, it means that users accessing the site via a screen reader can identify the purpose of the form

Take a look at the W3C information on this action F68 - Failure of Success Criterion 1.3.1 and 4.1.2 due to the association of label and user interface controls not being programmatically determinable. Further details can be found at; https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Techniques/failures/F68
