Rules Table Editor

Until there is something entered in the Enable rules in validation document, none of the buttons are enabled. Once you have selected and entered a value there, all the buttons become enabled. Use the Load button to have ACTF read the validation document and load the values into the table. Use the Save button to save your choices.

Please note that this entire table is read-only except for the checkboxes in the first column. In other words, the only thing you can edit is whether you want the rule enabled or disabled.

Columns in the table are:

Column Description
Type the type of the control
Name the identifier for the accessibility rule
Severity the designated severity of the problem
Message the message you will see printed in the validation report when this problem is found
 

The buttons that apply to the Rules Table editor are:

Button Description Enabled
Load use this button to have ACTF read the specified validation document and display the current values in the Rules Table Editor. When the Enable rules in validation document field contains a value.
Save use this to save your choices for which rules to enable. Note that this will result in saving a new version of the specified validation document. When the Enable rules in validation document field contains a value.
Select All use this button to enable all of the rules When the Enable rules in validation document field contains a value.
Select None use this button to disable all of the rules When the Enable rules in validation document field contains a value.

Use these buttons to load a validation document and save the enablement rules you have chosen. Important! Selecting OK or Apply on the Preference page will not save the changes to the file nor will it warn you that you have unsaved changes in this table. You must use the Save button to save your changes.

This is what the Rules Table Editor looks like with a validation document loaded.
