Greetings from UC Berkeley,

As this year’s Tableau virtual conference approaches in early November, now
is the perfect time to remind Tableau that accessibility remains a
non-negotiable priority for its University of California systemwide users.

One clear shortfall of the user experience—particularly for those who are
visually or mobility impaired and unable to use a mouse—is that the tabbing
order for a Tableau dashboard, which screen readers rely on, can be random
and nonsensical.  Our dashboard development partners at The Solas Group
worked with us to create this short video illustrating the problem.

If you and your organization, like UC Berkeley, insist that Tableau invest
more in enhancing the accessibility of its products, please support our
post in the Tableau Ideas Forum, Make Dashboards More Inclusive and
Accessible: Tab Order Configuration, which promotes functionality to allow
the developer to explicitly set the tab order.  If you like the idea, click
the thumbs up in the Tableau Ideas Forum post.
