Known limitations for MAXIMS Enterprise
1.Keyboard Accessible
Individual forms and controls can easily be accessed using keyboard only, however, accessing data within tables and switching between frames is not currently possible. Accessing Right Click menu options with the keyboard are also not possible as the framework does not natively support this control method. Through our JSCN web technologies we are actively reviewing and adding support for full keyboard navigation to ensure all areas of the application are supported with keyboard only access.
Currently a combination of Keyboard and mouse is required, and the mouse should be used switch between frames, access data tables and the right click context options.
2.Contrast Ratio
Some elements of MAXIMS Enterprise have a gradient colour scheme. These gradients impact the contrast ratios where implemented. IMS MAXIMS is actively looking at updating the colour scheme to remove the gradients that impact the contrast the ratio.

Aria Tags are not currently implemented within the framework. IMS Maxims is Actively seeking to implementing ARIA tags to the framework.
