Global Meetup Virtual Meetup - May 2021

Hello everyone, good morning, good afternoon, good evening. As you can see I'm wearing a jacket

it's pretty cool here where I am right now. Firstly, thank you for joining C-Shop Connect

Global Meet. I think we were not able to connect for the last two months because of the pandemic

and stuff happening, especially in India. And I hope everyone of you are safe

Everyone is doing well. It's really bad in India. And we're all trying to support

I guess if you go to the Sishapana page, there is a donate button

Complete transparency, whatever money you're donating will be going towards the charity

So please like, and it doesn't matter who you're donating or who am I doing the charity

It can be anyone like, like anything around you. people, your people you're working with, people are required help

If they require help, just go towards that person. I think if you help someone, a couple of people, they might help someone in the future

And I think there's a very interesting thing. The thing is, like, for example, we don't trust people, okay

Or we will be like, no, this person is going to take my money and do something else with

that money. We don't realize that, okay, that guy takes your money, if he takes 100 rupees, for example

he might like take 5 rupees for his other maintenance cost but 95 still goes to something

and now there's so much transparency between the NGOs and between the people who are working

they just put in LHS equal to RHS it's like that, like whatever you give

it just goes to the person who requires it so just go ahead, donate

we don't ask you to donate like a million rupees just do a donation of some hundred, two hundred

a minimum burger price. Somebody might get a burger. Two people might get some small burgers

or packages instead of that. It's very important now to be with each other

especially we as humans, we need to be really together. That will help us to grow, right

So let's go with the show. My son, Manfred, I'm from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

C Sharp Corner MVP. Logging to C Sharp Corner to know more

What do we do? What are the learning aspects for all of you here

So today we have a couple of speakers with us, Anuranda Kumari and Ajay Sharma

Ajay Sharma will be the one starting with us on sensitivity labels in Power BI

Hey, Ajay. How are you, Manfred? Let me switch on my camera

I'm looking at here. I have two monitors, so please don't mind if you look me

I'm looking somewhere else. Thank you very much. Thank you so much for inviting me

I think it's my second or third time with you. And it's always been a pleasure being here

Thank you, Ajay. And you are working hard with your presentation and you bring out something new technology every time

So why not? Let's have you here. Thank you so much. So I always try to bring something new

something related to the Power BI. And I know that a lot of guys are working on this

this technology and it's booming a lot. So I just tried to teach them by my YouTube channel

I receive a lot of queries about different topics and I always feel, yes, I'm there to help you guys

And recently I completed one D800 series like certification for Power BI

and I received all of them response. So many guys completed that

and you know that nothing better than that can be with you

if somebody is learning from you. So I hope so. Today's topic is going to enlighten you a lot in your day-to-day life

and you can secure your data. All right, Ajit, and the stage is all yours

Okay, great. So, guys, I'm going to switch off my camera because of the Internet issue

Otherwise, bandwidth is going to be a lot over here. So, I apologize for that in advance

So, let me start sharing my screen with you. Okay. Here we go, my screen one

So, guys, let me know once you can see my screen. Okay, here it is

So, guys, let's start it. Today's topic is sensitivity levels in Power BI

In Power BI, we have data classification and data protection matrices. So we always try to secure and save our data

and there are multiple ways to do that, and sensitivity label is one of them

Apart from the sensitivity label, there are a couple of other methods as well

like enforcing the government's policies even when public content is exported, or monitor and protect user activity

on sensitivity data in real time. And one more, that is empowering security administrator

who use data protection reports and security investigation capabilities with Microsoft Cloud App Security to enhance organizational oversight

Maybe in my upcoming videos or whenever I'm coming over here on this platform

I can talk about the other aspects as well. But today's topic is completely on sensitivity levels

Let's get started. A brief about myself. Well, I have more than 10 years of work experience

I have completed some certifications. I am the founder of BI Consulting Pro, which is my channel

and it's completely free, of course. Nothing you need to charge, but I assure you

if you are going to go over there, you can learn a lot of new things in Power BI

In fact, if you are looking for some crash course or something, so please do check that out

and I hope so that's going to be helpful for you. My specialties are in Power BI, MSBI stack

then Azure, Dex, et cetera. That's just brief about me. If you would like to know more about me, you can either go to my channel or you can connect with me on my LinkedIn

So I'll provide you my link as well later. Now, for today's topic, I will try to keep it brief

I won't go into too much detail because sensitivity levels are kind of a big topic if we are going to talk about that

But I'm sure after today's session, you would be very much clear about the sensitivity levels, how to create them, how to apply them, what are these

and why they are going to be helpful for you. In today's video, we are going to talk about first

what are sensitivity labels in Power BI Then we are going to discuss about the licensing requirements for sensitivity labels After that we will go by enabling

sensitivity labels in Power BI. Then we are going to discuss about how to

create a sensitivity label in Power BI. This one is going to be very important

If you are Office 365 admin, and then you can create yourself too

But even if you are not able to create it, you will at least get to know how your admin is going to create them into your organization or

even for your personal use if you want to try them you can do that and lastly we are going to

discuss how to apply sensitivity labels in power bi so these are today's agenda and we are going

to discuss each of them step by step now the very first topic comes what are the sensitivity labels

in Power BI. Well, guys, Microsoft Information Protection Sensitivity Labels provides a simple way for your users

to classify critical content in Power BI without compromising productivity or the ability

to collaborate. We all know that data is the one thing that we need to secure at any cost

If your data is not secure, that means you are going to be in a big problem

or you can say you're going to loss your whole business. So that should be the utmost priority for any organization

and definitely it is. But still, we need to know how to secure our data

So sensitivity labels is one of the methods under the data protection in Power BI

So we are going to learn about it, how it's going to be useful for you and what you can do

Sensitivity labels can be applied on your data set, dashboards, and data flows

but we are going to see eventually how to do that. Plus, you can also use

those sensitivity labels inside your Power BI desktop application. I'm sure you guys are working on Power BI

and you have quite extensive knowledge. Maybe this is going to be a refreshment for you

but for those who are new over here or who are new in Power BI

it's going to be a game changer for them. When data is exported from Power BI to Excel file

PowerPoint, or PDF file, Power BI automatically applies the sensitivity label on the exported file and protects it according to the labels

file encryption settings. This way, your sensitivity data remains protected no matter where it is

So no unauthorized user can use your file or can get the data from that file

unless until they have the access for that, or you are going to authorize them

So that's how they're going to protect your data. As I just explained to you where we can apply them

so we can apply those sensitivity labels for reports, dashboards, data flows

Plus, now we have in preview feature, we can apply directly sensitivity labels since the beginning when we are going to

start building or creating our reports in the Power BI desktop. That's how we can use them and we can start building our reports on the top of that

so that from the beginning we are making sure that we are securing our data

Now, there are a couple of things that you should always note

The very first is that in order for the data protection metrics report to be successfully generated

there is a data protection metrics. Basically, I'm going to come to that part later

But you should also remember that in order to generate that metrics, basically, where you can see

what are the sensitivity labels that are applicable for your organization or the admin has created

Those information protection must be enabled into your tenant. In order to access the Cloud App security information

this is another way to apply the sensitivity labels or the data protection method

Your organization must have the appropriate Cloud App security license. For the sensitivity labels

they are only going to work once you have either created them and

or you have enabled them plus you have certain requirements that's gonna meet over there

That means there are certain licensing requirements and others which I'm just gonna discuss with you

So question comes, how do they work in Power BI? So there are basically three things

you should remember in this case. First is customizable, then clear text and persistent

So these are the three different steps that how they work. When you apply a sensitivity label to a Power BI dashboard report, data sets, or data flows

it's similar to apply a tag on that resource that has the following benefits

That means it should be customizable, it should be easy to understand, and it should be purpose-time

Customizable means you can create categories for different labels of sensitivity content in your organization

such as personal, public, general, confidential, or highly confidential, so that everyone can get to know, okay, whether we can share this data to public or like your

management data, or if it's finance data that would be highly confidential, you cannot share

with unauthorized users. Now, second one is the clear text. Since the label isn't clear text

that means in plain English, it's easy for users to understand how to treat the content

according to a sensitivity label guideline. So you can send the description, the tooltip, etc. into this one

While we are going to create a sensitivity label, there you would get to know how you can give a particular description

to your sensitivity label as well as its name. So it's very easy to understand for everyone

even for the business users in a plain layman language. Lastly, persistent

If we talk about the persistent, After sensitivity level has been applied to content

it accompanies that content when it exported to either Excel, PowerPoint or PDF files

So basically whenever you are going to yze or open those particular files

it's going to always be there after once you're going to apply. If you don't want to apply, then again

you have to do certain settings into your PowerGate service or PowerGate desktop and then only you can remove it

That's how it's going to work like simple, customizable, clear text, and persistent

Now, we're going to talk about some other important considerations while you are working on the sensitivity labels in Power BI

Always make sure that sensitivity labels does not affect access to the content within Power BI

That means, suppose you are logging in on the Power BI service

and on Power BI service, you are viewing a report or something. There, the access is not going to

restrict by the sensitivity label. These are basically when you are trying to get

the data out of Power BI service or you are going to send your .pbx file to someone else

Then only these are going to work. Otherwise, if you want to restrict the data access to

someone, then you have to apply either RLS or OLS. RLS is your role level security and OLS is your object level security So those kinds of securities you need to apply to your data if you want to restrict that kind of access like somebody logging into Power BI service and they want to view certain data

and it should appear according to their role or the level of access that we have granted

for them. While the labels are visible, any associated encryption settings, that means the settings

that you configured in Microsoft 365 Security Center or the Microsoft 365 Compliance Center are not applied

They are applied only to the data that is exported as I just mentioned to you

So sensitivity labels and file encryptions are not applied to any CSV file

So please try to disable the export in CSV file if you want to use those sensitivity labels

Maybe in future it's gonna come because a lot of ideas are coming on the Microsoft Power BI community

People want that to happen in CSV as well. Most of people prefer to work with the CSV file

So as of now, the day we are discussing this, still it's not applicable for CSV files

So please always make sure that you stick with this point and try to disable or ask your admin to disable the export in CSV

Other than that, like your PowerPoint, your PDF, or your excel file they are gonna work very well so try to remember this time i hope so this is

gonna work for you okay now we are gonna work on the licensing and requirements it's very important

so as we know that if we are working on power bay we need the power bay pro license or premium

per user or premium if we are working in an organization but in order to apply the sensitivity

label or to create them, we also need a licensing requirement. So let's see what are the licensing and other requirements

that we are going to use for sensitivity labels. OK, the very first is that you need Azure Information

Protection Premium P1 or Premium P2 license. So if you guys need more information about that

either you can directly Google or I can also provide you the link in the description later so that you can go to those links

and can see what is premium P1 or P2 license, but this is what it takes

So generally, it's around like for me, I'm in Singapore. It's going to cost me around two to three bucks per month

So that's going to be more than enough, but definitely there are other tiers as well

that you can go for the upper versions. Depends on your requirement. And secondly, you must have a Power BI Pro or premium per user license

So this is much for that. Lastly, before enabling sensitivity label on your tenant

make sure that sensitivity labels have been defined and published for relevant users and groups

I'm going to show you how we are going to create and going to publish them unless until you want to create

them into your 365 compliance center, they are not going to appear automatically

The global admin or the 365 admin, they need to create them and enable them as well as

publish them. Then only you can apply those sensitivity labels into your Power BI report

dashboard, data flows, etc. Now question comes how to create sensitivity labels in Power BI

For that I need to give you a demo and I hope so that demo is gonna be

easy to understand and if you guys have any questions you can ask me. So I'm gonna go on my

Let me see where is my window. Okay. So I'm using my virtual machine over here just to use this Power BI desktop over here

And what we are going to do now, we are going to create first the sensitivity labels

And those you can create only in our 365 Compliance Center. And how you can access that

access that suppose you have the license of Office 365, and you have all the applicable permissions that you can create them

Come to this Power BI service account over here, and you will see view account

Either you can go from there or you can directly login on Microsoft 365 admin

I'm going to show you from here itself because it's going to be quite easy

Once you will click on this, I'm sorry yes so once you're gonna click on this you will see something like this

so what you can do you can click on this uh your left hand side top corner and here is the admin

so click over here now you will see there's a billing so first of all as i mentioned to you previously you should

have this azure p1 or p2 for the sensitivity labels so you can purchase it from here so you

will go to the purchase service and here you can search it so here i'll just say azure

and here you see this Azure Information Protection P1. So this is what I have, and you can see it's just saying $2 per month

So it's in USD $2 per month. So it depends on your region or the country

You can see how much it's going to cost you. Otherwise, there are two more

Here's Azure Active Directory Premium P2 and this one. So you can see which one is best for you

But for this one, it's going to work, and it you can see over here it's saying you own this because i have already this license and that's

why i'm working on that otherwise if you need some other licenses as well like powerbear or something

you can search from here and you can get your licenses over here so you will get a lot of

different items over here so you can choose but let's move forward this is not the topic that we

are going to discuss over here what we are going to do over here there is a button over there or

tab you can say which is saying show all click on this on your left hand side panel and you have to

come down so generally under security and compliance both are the places where you can create your

sensitivity level but i don't have that kind of plan that i can go with the compliance so what i

can do i can come under security i'll i'm gonna click over here as soon as you will click over

here, it's going to open a new window. Once you are here, just wait for some time

You can see now I'm in Office 365 Security and Compliance. You will get a lot of information and documentation here

If you would like to read, please do and go ahead. Now what I'm going to do, I'll come under classification

and here you can see retention levels and sensitivity levels. What we are going to do over here

we are going to create a sensitivity level. So I'm going to click on this one

It going to show me all my sensitivity labels that I have created so far So you can see any user highly confidential confidential XYZ PUZ something And if I don want anyone I want to delete it

So I can come here. I see this XYZ. I can delete it over here

Or if you want to edit it, you can edit. You want to publish it, you can do the same

So let me just edit it. So now I have these sensitivity labels

What I'm going to do, I'm going to create a fresh one. So I'm going to say create a sensitivity label

And here, as I mentioned to you, it's customizable. You can customize it and it's clear text

So you can easily mention the name or the tag that you want to

It's asking me enter a friendly name. Over here I'm going to say C-sharp corner, let's see

And display name, that also you can say the same or different depends on your requirement

It's just a demo, so it's not going to matter much for me. Over here we have to provide the description for the user

Suppose anybody is logging or using it and then they find, okay, there's a sensitivity

label, they should know what it's saying or what is the meaning of that

So over here, I'm gonna say highly confidential. Please don't share data outside your organization

So let me see this one. Now you can also provide over here

description for admin so if admin is there you have created the sensitivity label so you can

mention them for financial data that's it that's all you need to do so it's up to you what you're going to provide over here

click next you can apply files and emails and as you preview asset if you don't want to you

You can not, I don't have access for this one groups and sites. So I'm not going to do that

And it's clearly not highlighted as well. So I cannot touch it

Now, next here you can make it. You want it to encrypt files and emails

and mark the content file. So I'm going to go with the first encryption

And here is asking me, assign permissions now or let users decide

So I'm going to say assign permissions now. Second one is a user access to content expires

So when it should get expired, you can say a specific day, the number of days or never

So I'm gonna say a number of days after and here we can provide up to 100 days

So I'm gonna say 90 days. Now, last one is over here, allow offline access

So somebody is working offline. So are you gonna allow them access or not

I'll say never. And lastly, what we are gonna do over here

assign permissions to a specific users and group. So of course, whenever you are creating any sensitivity label

you need to assign those to a particular group or to the whole organization

That you can do over here. Click on this one, and it's going to ask you

So you can say add users or groups over here. And click here, and I'll select all

These are the different accounts that I have created. I'm going to say all

But if you want to do some domains as well, you can just click over here

you can select mentioning like I say bi consulting pro dot com something like that so you can add it

over here too now click save and click next now it asks you auto labeling for files and emails

whether you want automatically label it whenever you are applying a sensitivity label or there or

not so i can say yes but it's again depends on you whether you want it or not so these are the

simple descriptions or simple rules that you can define over here so now it's saying when content

matches these conditions so over here you can mention when it should do so apply automatically

recommend that users apply the label you can also kind of add the conditions like passport number or

something in your country like that so if you would like to you can do that but i'm not gonna

go over there i'm just gonna create a simple one and let's click next groups and sites click next

this is gonna be your complete description auto enabling group settings site settings name etc

and create the label just wait for some time it's submitting it's going to take a while maybe one minute or it's

done now if you would like to publish this one you have to click over here and then there are

certain other links as well if you would like to do that but we are going to work over here

on the publish this label so click on this and here you will see choose sensitivity labels to

publish now we have to click on it choose sensitivity labels all the sensitivity labels

are gonna appear here so we just created this one she corner one so let's do this and now we have

to click next here again the user groups that you would like to i have included all

Now this is the most important one which is saying your policy. So you should know which one you are

going to apply this label to. Apply this label by default to documents and email. It's in none. I'll

say this one because this is the one which we have selected this label and here you can select these

options according to your own requirement. I'm going to select this users must provide justification

to remove a label or lower classification level requires the users to apply close on this one and

provide users with the link so just select this and here you can provide a link where they can go and

see which label when to apply or what are the different conditions are there so let's remove

this as of now here you can provide the name and description of the policy again i'm gonna say

a sharp c label policy and here i'm just going to say xyz next you need to review this if you are okay just submit

so this is how you can create a sensitivity label just click done and here you can see

It has been created with all the five IEAs, five emails and the different things

Now it's saying something over here, your organization has not turned on the ability

to process content in offline, office online files that have encrypted sensitivity labels applied and are stored

in OneDrive and SharePoint. You can turn on here, but note that additional

configuration is required for multi-geo government. So it's a new one. feature provided by the Microsoft

If you would like to go with that, you can go. Right now, we don't really need it

so we are not going to use it. Now we're going to go back over here in my Power BI service

Let me refresh my browser. Generally, it takes up to 15 minutes

but let's see if we are doing it non-peak hours, so probably it's going to be there

Let me go to my demo workspace now. Let me take you first on this PPT where we were

We just created the sensitivity label. Now what we are going to do

the second task is how to enable sensitivity labels in Power BI

Right now, we just have sensitivity level. We didn't enable anything into Power BI admin portal so that we can apply

Let's check how to do that. So again, we have to go back into my window where I have

So we can go to Parve Admin Portal from this gear icon

So click on this Admin Portal. And here you will find this tenant settings on your left hand side panel

So it's I think fifth number from the top. Come over here and you have to come under Information Protection

Under Information Protection, you have different options. where it's saying the very first allow users to apply sensitivity labels for power b content

you have to enable it if not so i have already enabled it so it's working but there are certain

other settings as well like for the entire organization or specific security group so you

can do that suppose you want to only apply for one or two groups this uh sensitivity level you want

them to apply this and you don't want the entire organization to work on this so that's also

option over here and if you want to exempt someone from that group that's one also you can apply over

here but right now i'm not going to touch it i'm just going to cancel this it's already there

second option over here is apply sensitivity label from data source to their data in power

via which is in preview it's a new feature if you would like to go with that you can go that just

enable it and here say apply so it it's going to take around 15 minutes again so it's going to be

there. Now that's the only thing which we have to do, but if you would like to check automatically

apply sensitivity level to time-scene content and other things, it's up to you. Right now it's not

gonna bother us into our today's demo which we are gonna do over here. I'm gonna come here into

my demo and there are the different files over here. These are the different Power BI reports and

dashboards that I've created so far. You can see the name and blah blah blah like type on a

refresh next web press endorsement where you can see it's certified or not maybe i can come with

another session where i can um lecture about what are the different endorsements methods how you can

make it certified what is the golden data sets and other things but let's focus this on sensitivity

label so here you see there are the different sensitivity labels apply like confidential

or you can say highly confidential, any user like public, anyone can access this highly confidential

What I'm going to do, I'm going to apply a newly created sensitivity label on this RLS versus OLS

So right now, what we have done so far, we have just enabled the sensitivity label and we have created

Now this is the part where we are going to apply sensitivity label

The same thing I'm going to do right now. Let me show you how to do that

So, whenever you see like your report data set or data flows, you will find these three

dots over here. Now click on this, go to the settings. And once you will go to the settings, you will see there's a panel on your right hand

side where you see the endorsement, persistent filters, and go down. And once you will go down, you will see this sensitivity label over here

Right now, this one has nothing, but we can apply. So you can see that this new sensitivity label that we created is there

It's tooltip is also appearing, highly confidential. Please do not share data outside your organization

Click on this, apply and save it. Now you can see this sensitivity label has been applied over here

In fact, once you hover on this I icon information, you will get description about it

which we provided while creating the sensitivity level. So till then, we have applied our sensitivity level

We have created, we have also enabling all the permissions that we require in Power BI service

Now, what I'm going to do, I'm going to see how does it

work when I'm trying to get the content out of this file

So go there, yze in Excel. So it's the simplest way to be honest to do that

But if you are exporting your PPT or PDF, etc, then also it's one of our except CSV

So yze in Excel, it's gonna download a file. Click on this one

But over here, you should remember that in only if you're in a kind of login

with the different email address, then you are going to get some kind of login window

where you have to enter your username and password. But since I'm the admin I have created

and my Excel file is also logged in over there, so it's not going to affect it

So here it's saying protected view. Be careful from the internet. Can scan virus

Just say enable it. So now it's a security warning over here

Enable content. and this model is gonna appear here because I am already logged in

I'll show you one more file, let's get login. So now you can see I have my data model

Now what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna show you one more file where I created the highly confidential one

You can see this one and it's a gateway testing report. So let's take this one too

It's gonna give you all the descriptions and everything. Double click on this

Let it get open. So over here, you can see your sensitivity label over here is working

It's saying highly confidential. Confidential data, please do not share with any unauthorized user

So we have to look at the permission over here. Since I'm the admin, I'm the author of this, so I have all the permissions and once you

will click, you will see all these. But if you are not, like any other user outside your organization or someone is opening this

file it's gonna ask them to login your user id and password and only then you can do it but since you

can see i have all the permissions so i'll just click ok i'm gonna say enable editing and say

enable content i don't need to see permission again so it's gonna take again a while and you

will see your data set or your all the data over here which you can drag and drop and work on this power pivot so it there you can bring you can do the things you want so let say this one

your currency name and let's say some of the fact sales amount

let's say text amount only okay sales amount

and here you go the field are moving cannot replace in that area i'm not

i think so it should be in this area for sure in the values field but let's forget it that's

not even the focus for today but moral of the story now you have the your data set you can access

the data you can work on it but if you are an unauthorized user you cannot work on it at all

so that's how it is now look let's go back to this one uh file so we have seen how we have

applied the sensitivity labels and how it's working now let's talk about the protection

matrix. So protection matrix is another way to have a look what kind of reports, dashboard, and

data flows are using, what kind of sensitivity labels they are using. So in order to access this

one I'm gonna show you in a while. So you can see on the screenshot as well if you would like to but

I'm gonna show you in my portal itself. Let me go back in my portal here. Let's come here

and we are here. So you have to again go to the admin portal

click on this gearing icon, then admin portal. And here you will see protection metrics

If it's taking a bit of time, just understand that you are coming and there's no cache memory

So it can take a bit of the time. And here, if your organization has cloud app security

or license already, you can go and check that. But if I click, I don't have

So it's gonna say you don't have any license. So it's not gonna work

It's gonna ask you to purchase, let it be. So here you will see your sensitivity labels

in your organization today, dashboards. Then you have reports, data flows and data sets

So on data sets, I have total three data sets and how much percentage is there

So it's gonna say sensitivity none. Over here, you will say sensitivity is highly confidential

You can see last 30 days or last 90 days as well

So all the information you will get it over here. Basically, it's gonna give you a dashboard

where you can see, okay, what are the different sensitivity levels are there

Like you can see on this legend, any user confidential, highly confidential or none

So that's how you can get it. Okay, let's move forward. Now, you should note, while working on this, when a new report and dashboards are created

in the Power BI service, they automatically inherit the sensitivity label previously applied

on parent data set of reports. But that means this inheritance, which is in preview right now

So whenever you created a dataset previously, suppose it's your golden dataset, which you

you are going to use for other reports to create. And that has already a sensitivity label

So whenever you are going to create a new report on the top of that, so it's going to inherit the same

And same applies for the reports. You can embed Power BI reports, dashboards, and visuals

in business applications, such as Microsoft Teams and SharePoint, or in an organization's website

When you embed as visual report or dashboard that has a sensitivity label applied to it

The sensitivity label will be visible in the embedded view as well

And the label and its protection will persist when data is exported to Excel

So in case of embedded as well, if you are already applied it

it's going to work same as it's going to work on your Power BI service

Thirdly, sensitivity labels are only supported for tenants in global public clouds

It's not going to applicable on the private or hybrid cloud. So they are the different cloud services

if you are aware about. And they are not supported for the 10-inch cloud

such as your national cloud, like US has its own national cloud

and other countries as well have, but they use them for their different purposes

Sensitivity labels can be viewed on reports and dashboards in the Power BI mobile apps

So now once you will log in on your Power BI mobile app, you will see there are the sensitivity labels

you can see in front of your reports or dashboards that you've created. And that icon will indicate to you whether it's highly confidential, public, or internal use

So that's how you can get all those information over there. So, guys, that's it for today

I have for you, I'll check your questions. And with that, I'll say thank you so much

And if you would like to connect with me, YouTube channel, please, this is the address

And this is a website where you can go and put your queries as well

So I'll welcome you all the questions now you can ask me. Hi, thanks man. As always a wonderful topic about sensitive labels. I just had a question before we go

Labels when you talk about does it label out PHI data also

I'm sorry, I didn't get your voice. I'm sorry. Does it label the PHI data in any way? For example, the information which I don't want

it to be public, can it just label and align them? Okay, so basically whatever data we have, and if we have created the sensitive labels

already by the global admin into your company or organization, then definitely we can label

them. So it's not going to depend on what kind of data you have. It depends on where you are

applying that sensitivity label, whether you are applying on your data flow or, I would say

data sets or the reports. So that's the moral point to concern rather than the data classification

Data classification, that's why we are applying these sensitivity labels over there for those

data classification so that no one can use that kind of sensitive data. But yes, as I mentioned

in the you know beginning if you want to um login if your user is talking in the power base service

where they are viewing your data or like embedded and you want to restrict them to view certain data

then you have to work on the rls or ols not on the sensitive data it's gonna work only once you're

getting out of the debt uh out of the power base service that data or in another words when you are

going to share your file with someone. Like suppose you downloaded yze in Excel and now you want to share with some other user

Or in other words let say another example is there It a preview feature in Power BI Xcode but you created a report and generally it happens I seen in organization people even share their PowerGate Xcode file

like .pbx file to other users, and they don't want unauthorized users to use it

That's the very first concern of us whenever we are sharing any code or something that

nobody else can see who are not authorized to look at into this one

In that case, they are going to be helpful. All right. Okay. Yeah, that's a good one. So I don't see any questions here in the chat

I think people are well satisfied with what you presented. Cool. So feel free to touch with me guys. You can contact me as I mentioned you on this

website or my YouTube channel, or even you can contact me through if you would like to

So I'm always available to resolve your queries. And once again, thank you so much for having

me here it's not just this presentation you can connect with me at any point of time

thank you thank you so much for having coming up here and presenting it's really really amazing

thank you thank you so much all right everyone uh we had ajay with us and now we will be being

joined by anuradha kumari who will be talking about decoding web accessibility to auditing so

So hi, Anandam. Hey, hi, Manthit. And hi, everyone. Thanks a lot for having me here today

So how are you? Thank you for joining. I'm doing well. How about you? Yeah, I'm doing good

And I hope everyone is doing good as well. Yeah, let's hope for everyone now

So Anandam, your stage is all yours. Okay, so I will try to share my screen

Let me know once it's visible. Anuradha Kumari, MD, Okay, awesome

So yes, hi everyone. My name is Anuradha Kumari and today I will be presenting on the topic, Decoding Web Accessibility

Through Audit. Okay. So a little bit of introduction about myself. I'm working as a development specialist at MediaOcean

Pune, India. And I'm also a media developer expert with Cloudinary. I'm an accessibility advocate

I really love talking about accessibility. If you would like, you can connect with me on LinkedIn

or Twitter. I have provided the IDs in the slides itself. So the topics which we are going to cover today

So we will first start with introduction to accessibility. we will see what accessibility is, what is importance

And then we will see what are the different ways and tips to audit accessibility for our applications

So let's get started. Accessibility or it also has a neuronym called A11Y

which is like A and Y and 11 means the number of letters

between the letter A and letter Y. So we will use it interchangeably, accessibility or alley

So it means that making the resources and services usable by everyone

regardless of their disability, ability, or the circumstances they are in. So why should we care about accessibility, right

So we create applications, websites, we create this for everyone. So why are we talking about accessibility in particular

this is because we build for the users or we build because we want users to use our websites

products applications right so and when we build for them we really can't know at all times that

what our users are going through or what are the different ways they are going to use our

websites or applications in so there are different assistive technologies so like

there is a screen reader, there is a braille reader. So there are these different types of

technologies which help disabled people to navigate through the web and different things

So they could be using different types of technology and devices to use our websites

and application. So we need to make sure that whatever we are creating, that is being accessible

to those technologies as well, so that the users are able to understand and navigate through our

websites properly. And the most important thing, so we need to care about accessibility is because

we are the one who are making the web inaccessible. So when web was created, it was accessible by

default. But as it evolved, we did not pay attention to all the guidelines and all the

proper ways in which we should build a websites and applications. And hence, we are leading to

creation of a very inaccessible web. So it is our responsibility to make web accessible

So as per WHO, World Health Organization, 15% of world population and that computes to around 1

billion people around the world. So they live with some form of disability. It's a huge number

and those people, they also need to access the web just like we do, right? So there are different

types of disabilities uh they are categorized into like visual uh when you have some disabilities

with visual thing like total blind or color blind partial blind or some some issues with your sight

right then auditory motor uh disabilities cognitive disabilities people uh some people might be

dyslexic right you would have heard the term so there are different types of neurological disorders

which users could be going through. Then when we talk about accessibility, it does mean that

we are trying to build our websites and applications for all of the people who are

disabled. So we want to make it accessible to disabled people and beyond. So accessibility

covers disabilities and it also covers more scenarios than that. Like the user might be

having some technical issues so they might be accessing our website on a very slow connection

so does it really work for them as well or they might be using a different device size like mobiles

or ipad so is our website or application is it responsive enough that they can understand those

things on those smaller devices as well then there could be different situations right so

So let's say we are creating videos or audios and the user is in noisy environment, so in

a noisy place, so they won't be able to hear it properly. So if there are something like closed captions or audio descriptions, then it will be helpful

for them. Then, or if the user is in a brighter environment, so let's say I'm trying to access something

on my mobile in a bright light. So if the contrast is not good, I might not able to understand

or read the content of that website. And then there are some disabilities which come with

progression like aging. So let's say my eyesight is totally fine today

But as my age proceeds I might suffer from some sort of partial blindness or I might not be able to see properly So in those cases will I be able to access those website and application in a nice way

So these are some of the things which we need to take care of and think about whenever we are creating something

So in a nutshell, accessibility benefits everyone. and so for accessibility there is this official website from w3c and there are principles so

wakag means web content accessibility guidelines so there are multiple guidelines on how to create

any component or any website so that it is accessible by everyone and those are divided

into four different principles they are acronymed as poor so let's see what's the full form and how

they really help. So for here, P stands for perceivable. So perceivable means that, so whatever

is there on that website or application, is it perceived by the user by any of their senses

So either through sight, through touch, through hearing, or any type of senses, they should be

able to perceive what is that on their website or application then o o stands for operable

operable means now that i have perceived that okay let's say there's a button on my website

so are they able to go to that button and operate it so for example uh when i'm using mouse i can go

to that button and click on it right what if i cannot see so mouse is of no use to me right

so in that case so for a blind person or they might be using a keyboard and a screen reader

combination so where the screen reader reads out the content to the user and user can navigate

through all different you know content on the website via keyboard so can I reach to that

button and like trigger the action on it using my keyboard so that is what is meant by operable

So like are all the things, are all the like operations on my websites and application

are they operable by everyone, regardless of which technology they are using

Then you, you means understandable. So whatever content there is on that website, is it understandable by people

So for example, let's see, there is a form and there are multiple inputs in that

So let's say 10 inputs there. now if there is no label in those inputs and if I am using my keyboard and screen reader to like

maybe a type in it and there is no label in it so how will I understand what do I input in all of

these so one might be for name age email date of birth etc so I need to understand as a user I need

to understand what I need to fill in those input boxes enable to you know so that I can fill it

properly so that I can fill that form properly, right? So this is what is meant by understandable

Then we have robust. So robust means that technology is evolving every day or there are

new things coming in. So robust means whatever we are creating, so that content, that website

application, that must remain accessible to the user agents, the browsers, the technologies

is irrespective of their evolution. So I mean, it should not, to today have five buttons, they are working properly

And if someone upgrades their Chrome version, those buttons should not stop working

I mean, they should still be accessible, right? So this is what it meant by robust

So, okay. So we saw in an Excel what accessibility is and what is importance

and how can we think about accessibility. So whenever we are creating anything, we can think about that core acronym

So we can think that whatever I'm creating, does it really check all those fields

I mean, check all those principles. If yes, then it's very good

So we are going to see today some of the ways in which we can audit for accessibility

So there are different ways. The first way is, of course, using a keyboard, like I mentioned before

So just open up any website that you are building, any application, and then you can start using keyboard to see if it's accessible or not

We are going to see specific points in future slides. Then screen readers

So by default, every device you have will have a built-in screen reader as well, as well as there are some screen reader softwares as well, which you can install to test for your websites using the screen readers

Then there are multiple browser extensions, browser tools, which we can use to test for the accessibility of those websites

Also, there is automation. So there are multiple automation tools and methods which we can use to test the accessibility of our website

So let's see the first one, which is using keyboards. So whenever we are using keyboards, so what can we test

So every way which we are going to see, they might have different topics that we can test for using that way

And they are not like separate topics. They might even overlap. So some of the topics will overlap, which we can test via different types of tools, right

So the first thing which we are going to see today is using keyboards

So what can we test? So what do you expect to test when you are using keyboard

So the first thing is all the interactive elements on our website

So what are the interactive elements? There could be buttons, anchor links, then drop downs, all these input kind of things

which the user can operate on. So these interactive elements, they must be reachable by a keyboard as well

So when you just use keyboard like tab, tab. So tab is the key which can be used to navigate to every interactive element

And if you want to go back, you can use shift and tab combination to go back to all the interactive elements

So test for it. Then after it is reachable. So let's say what do you mean by reachable is that you can also see the focus ring there

So we will see that in our example as well. So first thing is that are they reachable

And then now that we are on that button, can we really act on it

So how do you act on it when you are using a keyboard? So for keyboard, there are different rules

So you can use enter. So if it's a button link, these things, you can use either enter or a spacebar

You can press either of these keys to trigger the action on it

So there are some other inputs as well, like radios and this. They get triggered on press of spacebar

So these are different types of keys which we need to understand

and be aware of which can trigger all these different actions. Then the focus rings

So whenever we are tabbing on it, We are going through all buttons and anchors, links, these things

So do we know really on which element we are on currently

So that is focus ring. Then, yeah, skip to main and navigation link

We will see this again through example. So, and then is navigation in order

So whenever we are navigating, so there is a big website, there are multiple links

So it should not happen. Then when I'm doing tab, tab, it shows me it goes in header

then it directly jumps to footer and then it jumps back to some content so it should not like jump

to and fro between different random or you know sections it should go in in a sequence so either

horizontal sequence or a vertical sequence depending upon what is the current component

so but the order should be maintained then there could be some other manual checks when we are

doing manual check for accessibility, we can also check for color contrast. Color contrast now means

that the difference in color between your background and foreground. So for example, here

black is the foreground color and white is the background color. So this is quite visible

color contrast world. So if I would have used something called light gray, it might not be

visible. So we can also check it. When we see it, we can really check for color contrast as well

There are tools also to check for it. Then if we are creating any form of audio, we should be adding

a transcript for it so that a person who cannot hear, they are still able to understand it when

they read the transcripts. Same for videos. And then also the important keys, like I talked about

tab, shift tab, enter space, then there are arrow keys. So if let's say there is a slide show

So you should be able to use arrow keys left and right to go to the previous slide and the next slide

Then there is escape key. So if there's a model open or any pop-up open, so you can press escape key and then that model should get closed

So these are some of the important keys which users use in their daily life. So these are the most important and most used keys

So we should be aware of the functionalities of these so that we can test it properly

So let's see an example. uh yeah so i have chose amazon.com so it is accessible it's not that bad so there are good

things here so that's why i chose it to show you uh so the first thing i'm going to do so i will be

using directly my uh keyboard okay so i want to uh by default you search in that search bar and

then you go to any website so we can press tab to move to a different sections of this website so

So I press tab. So the first thing which you saw here is a skip to main content

So this is what I had in my slide, right? So what I want to do here, I want to trigger it and see what really happens when I click skip to main content

So I press enter. So if you saw it just skipped all this above part

So this all got skipped. And now if I press tab, it is going somewhere here

So although this is really a glitch in access, I mean, this is not accessible because I'm trying to press tab and I don't know where that focus ring is. Focus ring, I will show you what it is. But I have pressed five times tab here. But do you really understand where I am currently? So I mean, I'm just using a keyboard. So can you really understand? Even I don't understand where I am. So where is my current control right now

So I will keep on pressing tab until I see something. So I press tab

Okay. So now you see here, I hope this font is good

Otherwise, I will make it a little more bigger. Yeah. So if you see here now, so this was a link and you see a blue square types around it

This is called focus ring. This is like focus. So this means that this is my current active element

And if I press enter or space bar, this action is going to get triggered

and this also gives us the feedback visual feedback as well that where we are on this website

so i press tab again now again if you see uh i don't know where i am but i press tab again and

it goes to explore now so actually previously it was here this is also a link but since the focus

ring is not there i'm not able to understand i press tab again again the focus is gone i don't

know where i am i press tab again so here i am so this is what i mean when i say so when you

use tab and start testing you will understand that okay what is the issue and how can we fix

that so this is like uh there is something called outline in css so most of the websites what uh

like you know what the wrong thing that they do is that they go ahead and say that outline none

on their body level so what it does that it removes the outline outline on all the interactive

elements and when you press tab these focus rings are just not available let me show you what i mean

so i have also flipka.com open this is another website uh this is pretty much famous in india

so uh here what i am trying to do i will press tab here so in in amazon if you saw now if i don't

skip and i try to go you see there's a very nice clean or focus ring around it yellow color it was

also highlighting because I can really see where I am currently right so it's properly visible that

okay I am on the sign in I am on the returns at the order now if I do the same thing with flip card

I'm pressing tab right tab tab again now for this one it came because this is an input so

you know the focus came in for input now again that focus is gone so I'm really not sure I press

six seven eight times uh tab now and it's it's not showing so this is example of a very uh

highly inaccessible thing i would say so uh yes so we saw about uh focus rings we saw about how

they should be like you know accessible when we are using tabs and they should also like trigger

so if i go to let's say here i press enter so it should take me somewhere so it just took me to the

cart website right or cart page and so it's navigating me it's even navigating me to properly

so this is a very nice example okay so so we saw some of the examples of how we can test for

keyboard accessibility let's move on screen readers and voiceovers so let's see there are

multiple screen readers. For Windows, there is something called even narrator. So even if you

don't install anything, you press your window button and search for narrator, you will get a

narrator that is an inbuilt screen reader kind of thing. But there is a NVDA as well, which comes

free for Windows. I use normally NVDA to test for accessibility. Then for Mac also, there is

buy software which is inbuilt and it free again JAWS is a software which many professionals use and that is a paid one but I think it gives more accuracy or something then we have for everyone like there Orca for Linux for Android also we have accessibility

shoot and for iPads as well for iPhones also we have something called voiceover but I have

not used ever so and then I have also listed some of the links here because screen reader is actually

so like when we saw with keyboard keyboard was seemed to be pretty easy just you just have to

use keyboard tab tab you get to know and things like that but screen readers are little tricky so

when you are using screen reader it takes little bit of learning curve and even when i started i

found it really hard i'm still learning to be honest so i have given some examples on screen

reader so and some links where they give some of the ways in which we should use screen readers and

some of the important things which we can test using screen readers, right? So it will take time

but I think it's worth investing time into learning some screen reader functionality

because it really pays off. We really don't want our users to like go away from our websites or

feeling frustrated because they are not able to use our websites, right? So it's really a good

investment learning screen readers so whenever we are using screen readers what should we test

right so landmarks so now you just saw that when we were uh looking at amazon websites there were

lots of links lots of images buttons etc right now if i have to go like somewhere on the bottom

let's say so the user will keep tabbing on everything until they reach to the end right

that is not a good user experience so landmarks means what landmarks are they give you a list of

different things on your website so in screen readers we have shortcuts for that like we press

some buttons and the landmark pop-up opens up it gives you all the landmarks on your website all the

links on your websites all the headers on your website so that if you want to navigate via headers

you can do that as well so we will see it in a while so these are different things uh so whenever

we are testing we should test for these also because uh in a good website in a like good

accessible website there should be predefined landmarks so the user must be able to understand

what is a header what is a footer what is your main what are your different navigation parts

and like in heading also which is h1 which is h2 h3 because they are normally in hierarchy

so they should be able to understand that and they use this uh landmark thing to to jump to

different parts of your website so if we do not have landmarks on our websites and if you are

using html5 you know semantic html used for that only we have header footer nav different types of

elements which really define these roles. So if everything is just div and span, they want to be

able to understand where to go. But if we have clearly defined roles for our different elements

and sections, they will really understand where they need to go in order to perform any action

Then images. If there are images on our websites, we must make sure that we are providing a good

alt description, like a good alternative for those. Because if I cannot see, I really want to be able

to understand what that image is. So I will rely solely on what the screen reader reads to me

So if that image contains any important information, we should add alt for it so that

that information is read out to the users. So this is something which screen readers can really test

then form labels so uh there are different techniques in which if you're you are creating

a form even if you have not provided the labels visually you can still uh provide some hidden

labels for those so that when they are accessed via you know your screen readers they still read

out those labels so if there's a form with two input on um like visually you do not show anything

but when I am using screen reader that should read out to me that hey you need to input maybe

first name in this last name in this email in this and so on so this is something which is

screen readers can test our so dynamic changes so uh many times we have many dynamic things to do

on our website so let's say there's a form then a form when I click on submit there is something

happening like a loading or something like your form is being processed and then either success or

error response comes so these changes must be announced to the user so if I can see I will be

able to see what is the status but someone who cannot see they won't be able to understand

right that they won't be able to understand if the error came or success came so for those

these things should be announced then again yeah so whatever content you have so I read it

I find it very good but what if you just listen to it and try to make sense of it that someone who

is solely like need to understand it based upon listening will they able to understand that context

that content and what operation they need to perform so will they be really making any sense

when they are just hearing they cannot see anything visually they can just hear so we need to test for

that let's see a small thing also so here when we are using the screen readers it might be a little

frustrating as well so bear with me so I will be firing up my NVIDIA we'll make it small okay so just

to so okay where is it okay okay amazon.com toolbar address and search bar edit has auto complete

control plus l select so uh i just opened up my screen reader i just wanted to show you how

it reads the contents so that you understand. So I will press tab to go through these things

Amazon.com online shopping for electronics, apparel, computers, books, DVDs and more document

clickable clickable skip to main content. Okay so it just told me that you can skip to main

content so I know that okay there is a button to skip to main content but I don't want to do that

I will go ahead. So this is also which comes under dynamic changes

because we just opened up a drop down but it is able to read it from there

because we need to understand where we are currently because I want to maybe search for electronics

So I can press enter and then I can... search for some electronics here. So and then let's see some of the links

Okay main landmark clickable click here to go to amazon beauty pics graphic link so if you see it just told me beauty pics graphics link so when it reads the image it reads it that way and if you

have written something very descriptive about that image then it will read it shop now let's get fit

at home computers and accessories link okay shop by category shop now link we ship 45 million

products around the world graphic link. So here because there was some text written which they

wanted to read so it read it but if there was no alt tag there then it would read it very

differently just say graphics which is really not a good experience. So what I want to show you here

is I want to show you the landmarks mainly. So there are lots of links so the user might press

for windows it's insert and f7 so if i press that this pop-up comes up so

does the font size increase no so this pop-up comes up so if you

so if you see here there are multiple things i can navigate to all the links

to all the headings so these are all the headings then all the forms if i am

searching for any form specifically i can directly go to form fields and go to

the forms. There are buttons. Landmarks. So banner is the header. Then there is a main. There is a

navigation. So what if I want to. Navigation 303 level zero. Yes. So I want to go to the navigation

So if I go to here and press enter. So it directly took me to navigation. This is here all the footer

links. So these are all the navigation. So it will take me there. So this is a very important thing

So we need to make sure that all landmarks are visible. So you can play around more with your screen reader and check

I will just stop it because it will keep on speaking. Excellent, NVDA

Okay. So let's go to another one. Tools and extensions. So they again come under, you can say semi-automated or automated

They really help us figure out accessibility. So they have those rules predefined and they try to parse the websites and the DOM and they try to give us some information on what is accessible, what is not

But this is something which we can really use to check. But this is not something which we should rely on

Like so I will there are multiple tools and extensions. Most popular ones are the Lighthouse

This is inbuilt in your dev tools. Then there is X extension

So if you see Lighthouse, okay, so yeah. So this is the website where I've opened DevTools

So DevTools are something where in any website, you can go ahead, click, just right click and say inspect or say Control-Shift-I in Windows

For Mac, it should be maybe Command-Shift-I. So here Lighthouse is inbuilt

So you can always go to Lighthouse and start checking for accessibility

So that I have done already because whenever I am presenting, it never works

So I just tried to yze it previously. But just to show you what you can do on any website is that, yes, you can go to the lighthouse and click on accessibility desktop and click on generate report

Since I have already done it once, so it's not letting me do

That's OK. But this is how we can generate it. Then the second one is Axe

So for Axe, what we have to do, Axe is we need to install it

For Axe DevTools, you need to install it. And then it again comes in this DevTools itself

So actually Lighthouse and Axe, they are based on the same principle

So Lighthouse internally uses Axe to figure out the accessibility issues. And this provides some more detailed information

But still, since it's already there, I tend to use it more

Then there is something called Accessibility Pane. So what accessibility pain is? So, for example, let's focus on this here. What I did that I just ran this lighthouse report for Flipkart, right? So it gave me a score 63. Many people really rely on this score that is not valid. So it might even have 100 score. Still, you might have accessibility issues because it doesn't test everything of accessibility. And so here what it does, it gives you a score, it gives you some information. So what are the errors

So let's say there was a button which did not have an accessible name

So this one. So it didn't have accessible name. So if you see, if I would have, like if you would have seen from screen reader or let's

say now we can check it from here as well. So this is a button. Inside it, there is just an SVG

There is no label on it. So what are they going to like pronounce to the user

So there is something where we can see the accessibility issues. So if you are in elements, DevTools elements, in any particular element, you can go to this accessibility pane on the right

Normally, it's hidden. It's on the same styles, but it's hidden. So you go here and you click on that particular element

So, okay, this was the button. So if you see here, it will give you all information, all accessible information

So here there is no label. There is no ARIA label, no label, no title, nothing

So it's not going to read out anything. It will just say maybe graphics or something because it's SVZ

So it's not going to read out anything. So user will not be able to understand what that button is going to be used for

Right. So that's why this is error where it says that this button doesn't have an accessible name

So these are some things which this tool really helps and catches

Then using descriptive, alternative description, it really catches the alternative descriptions. Like you see, there are multiple images which don't have alt

it caught those then if the contrast is not good it even checks that these so these are really

some things which can be checked from these tools so we should definitely run and fix these issues

after that it also tells you that hey there are some things which i cannot test so you need to

check these manually like when you are tabbing it should be in order logical order and the focusable

so which we saw first we used keyboard to test that right so this is not able to use so these

are some things which we need to test manually. So we must also test these whenever we are testing

And this same information comes in AXDEV tools as well in a different format. Then we saw

accessibility pane. There is another thing which is called WAVE. So WAVE is another extension and

it comes as extension. So in after address bar there is an icon with the blue WAVE and you can

click on it. You don't need to click on it. What you can do is let's see here. You right click here

and you get an option in this when you right click on the website you get an option to waive this

page so when you click on this the page reloads and you get a very good information on the left

side so this is the wave results and it also shows you multiple it shows you like you can click on it

and see what was the contrast issue so there are multiple contrast issues there are multiple

all text missing issues these things you can click on them you can check the structure of this websites you can also check the contrast This is the contrast checker inbuilt which you can use to check those contrasts of

different elements. So this is a very good tool again. Then the last one was actually no coffee

but I think this has been taken off. It was a very good one, but I found another one for that

matter. So if I stop the wave, this is actually color blindness simulator. So in Chrome, we have

something called chrome lens so it again comes in extension and this is something which which is

again in your dev tools so if you go to dev tools there is another one called chrome lens if you go

to chrome lens what all you can do is you can simulate different types of color blindness so

let's see here i click on enable lens and i have selected full blindness so now you cannot see

anything so you can simulate a full blindness and you can try to navigate to it so it's currently

navigating and if you use screen reader you will hear some feedback uh this is helpful because so

that you can you are not like biased like you can see something and you will say okay i can see i

can understand and you might be biased when you are seeing things and trying to test using a screen

reader so this is really helpful but there is more to it like you can test for partial blindness so

what if user can see blurry or some color blindness. So in which different type of color is shown

I mean, they can see different bandwidth of color. So these are different things which we can test

using this tool. So these are very important, very nice tools which we can use and you can directly install it

and get started. So I hope it will be helpful. You can try testing using these

So yeah, we tested it along with. Automated tools, the last one

So what can we automate? So there are multiple automated tests, but let's see some of the things which we can automate

Again, automation is something which will not catch all of the errors

30, 40, 50% maybe, but you still need to test manually. Some of the things which can be automated are page titles

So if you are on a page, so let's say I am again in Amazon

and I have multiple tabs open or even not. So if you can see, these are the titles of the pages

So by title, I can understand where I am, right? So I can understand using the title

So this is something which can be automated. The headings, different HTML structure, the landmarks, the ARIA labels

So ARIA labels, again, if you don't want to provide something just for assistive technologies

then you can use different types of ARIA roles and labels. So these are something which we can automate and test if they're present or not

color contrast, image text alternatives. These are some things which can be automated

tested. So let's see, Axe core is again a very important, very nice tool, which helps us with

automation testing as well. There are different variants to it. There is Axe CLI doesn't need

any kind of library or something. Then there is Cypress. We can also have Axe for Cypress

selenium and there are multiple ones we are going to see today for axcli why because we don't need

to write any code here on your laptop you should have node installed and then you should have npm

and then you can go ahead what we can do just run npm install minus hyphen g for globally installing

it ax hyphen cli so if you install it you have axcli available and you can start testing in your

terminal about any accessibility of any website. Let's see how we do it. So again, it's straightforward

Just write X space and the URL which you want to test. So I want to test a URL. I just say X space

that URL. That is a simplest command which we can use to test accessibility. Again, this sometimes

takes time when I am really testing it while presenting. So I already, you know, did some of

the testing. So let me show a different one. Yeah. So for Amazon, if you saw what we did was

for Amazon, we just checked in a UI, right? We didn't check anything. So what I tried to do

I ran X on amazon.com to check the accessibility issues. So here, if you see by default, if you

don't provide anything else, it runs in a Chrome headless. So headless Chrome, it runs the, okay, what happened

Okay, yeah. So it runs your website in that accessibility test in headless Chrome

So it runs it and it gives errors. So if you see there are multiple errors, there is this violation

of ARIA valid attribute. You can read it. It's very nice. There are some image whose alt are like repeat, not repeated

add text so yeah there's multiple alt which has repeating text so it it gave this error

then uh there are multiple errors which it gives you can directly see this now this issue you got

you can read it but we can do more than that so you can also test any different url so i here what

i'm doing this is a website which i have created what i did okay so uh this is a website which i

I've created I can check any path as well so I wanted to check a path called model on it so it

gave me one error again we can read it now what if I want to test it on some browser you can do

that so if you run axe on till now so like say hyphen hyphen browser and then you give the browser

name let's say chrome so it runs on real chrome browser and then gives you the result and also

because just running is not enough. I want to have the result and try to make some use of it

For that, you can use a save command. So if I use save and I gave it a path

So I told that, hey, save this result here in this path. So what it did, it ran this

and it also saved the result of it in this JSON file

at the path which I gave. So let me show you how the result comes

So this is how the result comes. It's in JSON. and it shows you and it's actually a big file because it gives you results of all the tests

that it might have run. So if I am particularly trying to see what are the errors or violations

search for violation. Then since we saw there were four violations here, you will see four

entries here and it will provide all the description and why that was an error, all those

different things. What is the impact? So you get four of these. So you will get this very nice in

JSON form and you can read it, you can use it to create some reports as well. And this is a very

nice thing because you can also integrate these in your CI CD pipeline as well. And so that you

know, it gives you a feedback there as well. So this automated tests are like really important and

nice nice tools to run tests on. Again I want to repeat like and if you see in results as well it

shows it tells you that only 20 to 50 percent of issues can be detected so always test manual

testing so it gives you this information every time so and yeah it also gives you a link this is

Very nice website, DQ University. It really provides a very good curriculum and information on how to test for accessibility

Do explore it. Then, okay, so let's conclude. I showed you some of the examples and tips on how to test for accessibility

So in conclusion, what I want to tell you is that always think from user perspective

whenever you are creating something and whenever we are creating start for accessibility from the

very start it should not be an afterthought like i should create the whole product whole website and

then in the end i will go and run something and see okay these are some of the things i need to

fix no we should always test it from the beginning at least for the new things which we are starting

now uh it's like it's never late right start it now start it today from today onwards whatever you

creating you know create it with accessibility mindset test it and fix the issues which come

don't don't delay it they are really important again automation helps but manual testing is

always always always important and also testing with real users is really important because they

can really give us feedback which we might not be able to uh comprehend so since uh if i uh am like

For example, I can see. So I really cannot understand issues which a person who cannot see might be facing

So feedback from them is also really important. So focus on accessibility just as everything else

And I have action items for you today. So if you learn something, please pass on the learnings

And together we all can spread the awareness and work on making web more accessible

So it responsibility of all of us Let join hands together and make world more accessible These are some resources which I used and they are really good resources to get started with accessibility

So I will share this presentation and you will find all the links here

And so this also will be present on my GitHub website. So github.com slash anuk79 slash tech hyphen talks hyphen links

So this is the link where I put all the presentations and details about my talks

So you can anytime check all these presentations and all these resources

You can also scan this QR code if you want and you will be navigated directly to that website

and in last what I would like to tell you which I actually forgot to tell you there is a website

which I have created which is called explore web accessibility so I try to add information here

about accessibility it's not full-fledged but there are lots of examples here you can go here

it also gives you good like links where you can go ahead and read about accessibility and some of

the examples on how to create accessible things. So do check it out and let me know how it is

So, yeah. Thank you. And I will be taking questions if you any

This was something amazing. I've never seen so much in details about

accessibility and how important it was. You won't believe while you're talking

I have all my tabs open to all the resources you gave

And I've been actually playing around with it. And it's something crazy

Like, we don't think about it, right? But somebody might require this at watching sites

or anything and stuff. And I was wondering is it also possible to do only apps or even while also a similar thing Yes for mobile apps there are so far like for mobile it different

Like in mobile, you cannot have keyboard, so you can't click on it. So there's tap, and still there is tap there

So, but there is something called like voiceover or, so in every, if you are using Android or iPhone, there will be something

But it's very difficult to get out of it if you get into. so train before you open it otherwise i have been stuck there once so yes it's tricky uh so we need

to read it first before trying our hands but you know if you see someone yeah if you have any if

you see any youtube video there are multiple youtube videos where the users really so how

they use any website on mobile like as a blind user so you will see how difficult it is for them

like they have to hear everything and understand so if we don't make it proper then it's more

difficult for them so yeah right and this session actually came in a very right time we have been

making something for the elderly people uh like a website where they can do stuff for themselves

and trust me this is gonna be a big a passer for us because i never know it's that easy and

that's doable. I think Google is providing all these extensions and then you have your

own stuff. It's really good. Like we never thought it can be customizable. Also, that's

the best part of it. You can make sure what has to be read and what has to be easy or

not to be read. Right. So this is something amazing. I would love to be in touch with

you for this. This is something amazing. And I see people commenting on these great sessions

in very informative sessions. Thanks, Anuradha. It's really going well. Thanks for coming up today

I don't think any questions here, but give me one second let me have a check Thank you Evan I hope it was helpful So Manfred I have pinned the slide link

So I don't know how to put it there. So you can ping there as well. I will be also posting it on my

Twitter and LinkedIn. But paste it here so that they get linked to all the resources

Totally. That would be super helpful. Thank you so much for coming

Thank you so much. So everyone here, we are at the end of our monthly session

We'll try to be regular. The problem is we don't want trouble people

They're already having hard times. But if you all want to be a speaker, want to listen to some certain topics, please drop

me an email. Please shoot an email at the C-Shop Corner, and we will bring that speaker for you on

that particular topic on you. and I think we will just end it on a note

be safe, take care of yourself need anything, just let us know

we will help you in whatever way we can but be a little vigilant

about your neighbors, about your people your relatives, your brothers, sisters it's important

if people around you are happy around that environment, everybody keeps on doing the same thing and keeps on increasing

so I will be signing off this is Manfreet and we'll see you again

next month. Bye-bye. Take care
