Introduction
AAArdvark’s reporting feature makes it easy to review and share accessibility scan details for your site. Reports are available as PDF or xlsx (spreadsheet) files, providing summaries of scan results, issues, and WCAG compliance.
AAArdvark’s reports are tailored to meet your needs. Choose a PDF report for a concise visual summary or choose an xlsx report for detailed, sortable data.
Running a Scan
Before generating a report, make sure to run an automated scan. Once the scan is complete, report download options will appear in your Site Dashboard.
