Terms

The terms used in the Conformance Level information are defined as follows:

  • Supports: The functionality of the product has at least one method that meets the criterion without known defects or meets with equivalent facilitation.

  • Partially Supports: Some functionality of the product does not meet the criterion.

  • Does Not Support: The majority of product functionality does not meet the criterion.

  • Not Applicable: The criterion is not relevant to the product.

  • Not Evaluated: The product has not been evaluated against the criterion. This can only be used in WCAG 2.0 Level AAA.

For criteria marked “Supports,” substantial conformance with the criterion by the product or service has been determined through the Evaluation Testing, which includes a mix of external audit—conducted by an expert in the field—and self-assessment by the Rocket.Chat team.

In the tables below, for all criteria marked “Not Applicable,” the specific feature covered by that criterion is not part of the product. For example: If keyboard navigation is not the main form of navigation in the mobile platform and by design the content is optimized for easier vertical scrolling, then WCAG criterion 2.4.1 Bypass Blocks, will be marked “Not Applicable."

2.4.1 Bypass Blocks (A)

Not Applicable

On mobile devices, the primary mode of interaction is touch-based rather than keyboard navigation. The screen size is much smaller, and content is generally optimized for easier vertical scrolling. In mobile app design, interfaces are streamlined to fit smaller displays and minimize the repetition of elements like navigation bars or footers, which would require a "bypass" feature on desktop web environments. The app’s structure and layout are designed to be mobile-first, where the content flow and navigation are more straightforward
