Accessibility

The Skedulo Plus mobile app has been redesigned for better readability, navigation, and consistency - with enhanced layouts, larger text sizes, heavier font weights, and more contrasting colors.

This article includes the current list of supported accessibility features, with more features to be included in future releases.

Color contrast

All text passes minimum WCAG AA standards - with a contrast ratio of at least 4:5:1
(https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Understanding/contrast-minimum.html).

Text resizing

Skedulo Plus respects the device’s Accessibility settings for large and dynamic font resizing.

Platform UI and controls

The new Skedulo v2 mobile app uses native patterns and standard elements with already built-in accessibility support where possible.

The app supports larger controls, such as larger buttons, with larger tappable areas, and adequate spacing around elements.

Dark mode

Skedulo Plus supports dark mode based on the user’s device settings. This can be beneficial for users with low vision and light sensitivity.

Refreshing the app to update data on the screen

You can refresh or reload the app content on the Agenda and Notifications screens using the pull-to-refresh or swipe-to-refresh action.

To do this, touch the top of the screen, drag down, then release.

Localization settings

The Skedulo v2 mobile app displays language and date/time format based on your device’s localization settings.

Supported languages

Skedulo Plus supports both English and Spanish languages. The language setting is based on the device’s localization settings.

Offline sync

The Skedulo Plus mobile app includes a Pending changes tab on the More screen. Changes applied to jobs while offline are stored in the Pending changes tab until the device is back online and the changes are then automatically synced with the server.

If syncing does not automatically start once back online, takes a long time, or fails, you can tap the Sync button to manually sync the changes.
