Accessibility

GoodData is committed to making its analytics platform accessible and inclusive for all users. Accessibility is a fundamental aspect of product quality, ensuring that anyone — including users relying on assistive technologies — can create, explore, and share data insights.

Our platform is designed in alignment with leading accessibility standards and verified through independent audits.

GoodData has been evaluated by an independent accessibility auditor following the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, Section 508, and EN 301 549 standards.

Key Accessibility Features

GoodData supports a wide range of features designed to enhance accessibility for users with diverse needs:

  • Keyboard Navigation: All core dashboard functionality is accessible using a keyboard.

  • Screen Reader Compatibility: Dashboards and exported reports are structured for assistive technologies such as JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver.

  • High-Contrast Mode and Themes:

    GoodData dashboards work with the high-contrast display modes in Windows and macOS. High contrast makes text and charts easier to see for users with low vision or color perception differences. You can also use themes to improve contrast in your dashboards and in Analytical Designer. Themes let you adjust fonts, text colors, background colors, buttons, headings, or dashboard and navigation elements.

  • Accessible PDF Export: In Accessibility Mode, exported PDFs include structured data tables interpretable by screen readers.

  • Customizable Fonts and Layouts: Text resizing and responsive design ensure readability up to 200% scaling without loss of information.

Accessibility Mode

GoodData provides a dedicated Accessibility Mode (workspace setting ENABLE_ACCESSIBILITY_MODE) to ensure a higher level of compatibility with assistive technologies.

When enabled:

  • The Geochart visualization is disabled (as it cannot meaningfully convey information to screen readers).
  • Tabular PDF exports are disabled.
  • Visual PDF exports include embedded data tables for screen reader interpretation.

This mode ensures enhanced accessibility for users relying on assistive technology and allows organizations to meet compliance requirements more effectively.
