    Release Date: September 28, 2021

    Release Version: 149

    Survey Versioning

    The new survey compatibility level is 149. The system automatically uses compat="149" for all new surveys. This improves compliance with global digital accessibility standards and WCAG 2.1 A/AA guidelines by enabling the following changes:

    • Enforcing the use of screen reader-friendly labels for most basic and advanced question types.

    • Requiring labels to be unique for most basic and advanced question types so that legends and responses are easier to distinguish when using screen readers.

    • Adding support for keyboard controls to most basic and advanced question types.

    • Adding the role=”alert” HTML attribute, ensuring that all error messages shown to participants are supported by screen readers.

    • Adding screen reader-friendly notifications in the following situations:

      • When participants complete the Card Sort element.

      • When there are changes to totals within the Autosum element.

    • Requiring that the survey progress bar is distinguishable from the page load progress indicator by screen readers.

    • Improving screen reader functionality in Select, Number, and Text questions by removing the radiogroups label from elements which do not use radio buttons.
