Does JotForm provide a VPAT document?

Hello-

I was wondering if this product meet accessibility requirements or if there were additional things could be done to make the form compliant. 

Thanks,
Jessica

Update (December 10, 2019): JotForm Accessible Forms is available.

We are excited to announce JotForm Accessible Forms. Now you can create Section 508 and WCAG 2.1 Level A and Level AA compliant forms.

Here is our detailed user guide: How Can I Make My Forms Accessible

You can also check JotForm Accessible Forms to learn more about our accessibility features..

Could you please provide us which requirements you would like to have with JotForm forms? 

We will be glad to help you. 

We would need it to pass the IITAA at a minimum

We are not certified for WCAG 1.0 or WCAG 2.0, so we cannot guarantee that created forms will pass all the accessibility tests.

For best accessibility results my suggestion is to use basic fields (Short Text Entry, Long Text Entry, Dropdown, Number) and keep the forms simple.

Thank you.

Based on the response from July 2017 do you plan to do a VPAT.  The VPAT doesn't guarantee your accessible it helps us that want to use your product to see what is lacking to determine if we can accept that risk and allows you to see what needs to be fixed in your next updates. 

As far as I know JotForm does not provide any VPAT document; however, if you would require it, please let us know through a new thread, we will be glad to forward your request to our second level. 

 

Yes if you have a VPAT, that will greatly help with this purchase.

thanks for your help,

Jessica 

Let me forward this to our second level, we will update you as soon as possible. 

 

UPDATE: We are now supporting accessible forms.

We're happy to announce to you that JotForm now lets you create forms that are Section 508 and WCAG 2.1 Level A and AA compliant!

To make your form accessible, open it on the form builder, then go to:

1) Settings

2) Click on the Form Settings.

3) Click on the Show More Options.

 

4) Switch the Form Accessibility option to Enabled.

Our form builder will then analyze your form. If any accessibility issues are detected, warn you on the aspects that should be fixed to make the form accessible.

After that, all you need to do is adjust the form to address detected issues if there are any until all of the issues are resolved.

Also, please note that if your form is created in the old(Legacy) layout, you will see an Accessibility Enhancer Widget added to your form. This widget will automatically make your classic form more accessible, by improving the appearance of form validation warnings, and also adds ARIA(Accessible Rich Internet Applications Suite) attributes to your form. This widget is not needed for Card Layout forms. You may optionally consider selecting one of the ready-to-use accessible form themes. They are marked with a little human body icon in the form designer.

For more information on how to use the Accessible Forms option, you can check out this guide.
