Likely indicating:

• One or more headings are included on the page with no content in them — this occurs most often when an editor has tried to add extra visual space between elements on the page by including an empty heading.
• An image is within a heading — this occurs most often when an editor has inserted an image and it was inadvertently inserted within a heading instead of the adjacent paragraph.
• Erroneous, hidden code was pasted in from another source when adding the text of the heading to the page.

• Select the magnifying glass icon to inspect the page with the  to locate the issue on the page. When you highlight the reported issue in the information panel, you may see it as something similar to <h2>&nbsp;</h2> or <h3> </h3> — the "&nbsp;" or " " are the equivalent of an empty heading.
• If it's an empty heading, delete it.
• If it's an image within a heading tag, delete the image from the page and re-insert it — ensure you do not insert it in a heading.
• If it's erroneous code, select the visible heading text and select Format > Clear formatting — then reapply the heading format (review the Formatting help page for details).
• Contact your Cascade Manager for assistance, if needed.

• Remediating this issue requires access to the source code.

Likely indicates the use of a table for layout/formatting purposes, which must be removed

Note: All tables in Cascade require a caption be provided, so tables must only be used to organize data meaningfully into rows and columns, where a caption is appropriate. Collapsible lists are a unique exception. They are used for layout/formatting purposes, but they are handled uniquely in the source code to ensure they meet accessibility requirements.

• Select the magnifying glass icon to inspect the page with the  to locate the non-compliant table.
• Tables used for collapsible lists should not trigger this issue due to custom source code in our templates that improves their accessibility.
• If the table is organizing data into meaningful rows and columns, the issue can be resolved by adding appropriate header cells (review the Tables help page to learn how).
• If the table is not a collapsible list and is being used for layout purposes, update the page to include the content without the use of a table.
• Contact your Cascade Manager for assistance, if needed.

This will be rare and indicates an old hidden table summary is still included in the source code of the page.

Cascade now uses a caption to provide a description to those using screen readers.

• If it is a link with no visible text, contact your Cascade Manager for assistance in removing the link from the source code.
• If it is an image that is linked, ensure the image has alt text:
  • Update the image's file and update the Display Name field — this is the image's default alt text and will be included each time the image is used unless overridden by the Image Description field for content images.
  • For content images, you must also edit the page, select the affected image, select the Insert/edit image button to open the dialog box, ensure the Image Description field is filled in with a brief description of the image  — this will only be used as the alt text for that specific usage of the image. Note: If the 'This is a decorative image. No description needed.' check box is selected, un-check it to un-hide the Image Description field. 

This will be rare and indicates the page includes a link for visitors to an element such as a row or deprecated page type.

• If the indicated "page" missing a title is a Cascade row file, check relationships to that row file to help locate where you may be inadvertently linking to a row file in the body of the page.
• If the indicated "page" missing a title is something other than a row, contact your Cascade Manager for assistance.

This is less common, but identifies large tables that may be causing an issue on some devices.

• Select the magnifying glass icon to inspect the page with the  to locate the non-compliant link.

Indicates images and graphic elements that do have alternative text in place

• Select the magnifying glass icon to inspect the page with the  to locate and review the image(s).
• The current accessible name, or alt text, for each image will be displayed in the information panel as part of the code snippet displayed in each pink box — it's the quoted text that follows alt=.
• If the alt text is appropriately descriptive, no changes are needed.
• If it is not appropriately descriptive, update it in Cascade:
  • Edit the image's file and update the Display Name field — this is the image's default alt text and will be included each time the image is used unless overridden by the Image Description field for content images
  • For content images, also update the Image Description field by editing. the page, selecting the image and selecting 'Insert/edit image' — this will only be used as the alt text for that specific usage of the image.
• As of April 18, 2026, event feed row images are treated as decorative in the source code with no alt text provided, and will therefore no longer trigger this check.

• The page's title serves as the Heading 1. Whenever you can organize your page content into topical sections, use the Heading 2 format to add meaningful section titles. Heading 3 can then be used to organize those into additional sub-sections.

• Review the table captions to ensure compliance (review the Tables help page for guidance).

Indicates an image on the page may contain text with poor contrast (the luminosity contrast ratio between text and background color in all images must meet specific standards).

We strongly recommend no text content be communicated in images unless it is a logo or similar brand mark that is not trying to convey content. This ensures that the text can be resized, read by screen readers, and adapted to different user needs.

• Select the magnifying glass icon to inspect the page with the  to locate the flagged image(s).
• Additional testing tools such as WAVE accessibility tool to evaluate contrast ratios will be needed to ensure that users can read text that is presented over a background.

• Select the magnifying glass icon to inspect the page with the  to locate the audio file(s).

Indicates that the page may be presenting content in a tabular manner other than using a true table, for example multiple spaces or pipe ( | ) characters used to visually organize content.

Pages may also be listed for this review if there are hidden elements in the source code organizing the content in an inaccessible manner.

• Review the page to ensure text elements are not being used to present the content in a visually tabular manner — for example a series of spaces to visually align content with other content.
• A single pipe ( | ) character is allowable for separating adjacent links for improved readability. Alternatively, you could also consider using an ordered or unordered list to delineate the items.
• Contact your Cascade Manager for assistance, if needed.

• Regularly review the headings on your pages to ensure they clearly describe the topic or purpose of the content that immediately follows it.

• Select the magnifying glass icon to inspect the page with the  to locate the GIF image(s).
