EAA – Accessibility Compliance Report

Updated

The EAA Compliance report helps you check whether your assets meet the accessibility requirements of the European Accessibility Act (EAA). Our system automatically checks your assets and shows you which ones are compliant, which are missing accessibility information — such as descriptions or transcriptions — and lets you add the missing information directly from the report.

Use the EAA report to monitor the accessibility status of your entire asset library and to close gaps asset by asset.

Understanding the Report

The report is split into two tabs:

  • Assets: A list of all your assets with their current accessibility status. This is where you review assets and add missing information.
  • Trends: An overview of how your accessibility compliance develops over time.

At the top of the Assets tab, four summary boxes give you an instant overview:

  • Total Assets: All assets in your channel that are part of the accessibility check.
  • Compliant: Assets that meet the accessibility requirements.
  • Non Compliant: Assets that do not meet the requirements and need your attention.
  • Not Checked: Assets that have not been analyzed yet.

Each summary box is broken down by asset type — Video, Picture, 3D, 360°, and Document — including the total video duration where applicable. Every asset type within a box is clickable and acts as a filter: for example, click Video inside the Non Compliant box to show only non-compliant videos.

Each row in the table shows:

  • File Name: The asset name and its duration. The icon in front of the file name indicates the asset type. Click the file name for direct access to the asset in the preview layer.
  • Status: Compliant, Non Compliant, or Not Checked.
  • Folder: The folder ID the asset is stored in. The folder is a hyperlink — click it to jump directly to the folder.
  • Language: The language of the asset.
  • Added: The date and time the asset was added.
  • Description: The languages for which an accessible description exists, or an Add description link if none exists yet.
  • Transcription: The languages for which a transcription exists, or an Add transcription link if none exists yet.

Navigating to the Report

  1. Sign in to your Brand Channel
  2. In the left Menu, under Reporting -> Compliance, select EAA – Accessibility
  3. Switch between the Assets and Trends tabs at the top
  4. Navigate between pages using the pagination controls at the bottom

Filtering the Data

  1. Click the Filter button at the top of the table
  2. Select the filter: You can filter by File Name, Asset Type, Folder ID, Status, Language, Added, Transcription, or Description
  3. Enter your value: In the filter dialog box, enter the values or criteria you want to use for filtering and hit "Enter"
  4. View your filtered data: Only the assets that match your filter criteria will be visible
  5. Remove the filter: To remove a filter, click the "x" next to it or clear all filters using the Clear button

Tip: Clicking an asset type inside one of the summary boxes at the top (e.g., Video in Non Compliant) applies the corresponding type and status filter in one click.

Saving a Filter

You can save your filter combinations for quick access:

  1. Apply the filters you want to reuse
  2. Click the Save button at the top right of the filter bar
  3. Your saved filter is now available whenever you return to the report

Adding a Description

If an asset is missing an accessible description, you can add one directly from the report:

  1. Click Add description in the Description column
  2. In the dialog, choose one of the two tabs:
    • Generate: Automatically generates accessible descriptions in the default languages configured for your Brand Channel. Click Generate to start.
    • Add manually: Click Add language to add one or more languages and write the descriptions yourself.
  3. Confirm to save your descriptions

Adding a Transcription

If an asset is missing a transcription or subtitles:

  1. Click Add transcription in the Transcription column
  2. Click Add language to add one or more languages and attach an .srt subtitle file for each
  3. Click Upload subtitles to save

Understanding the Trends

The Trends tab shows how your accessibility compliance develops over time:

  • Monthly summary boxes: The number of assets checked in the current month, the change from the previous month, the year-to-date total, and the total compliant video minutes.
  • Trend chart: A monthly bar chart showing your assets by status. Use the checkboxes above the chart to show or hide Compliant, Non Compliant, and Not Checked assets.
  • Asset type toggles: Use the checkboxes below the chart to include or exclude specific asset types — Video, Picture, Document, 3D, and 360°.
  • Use the arrows to navigate to earlier or later time periods.

Exporting the Report

  1. Navigate to the EAA Compliance report and apply any filters you need
  2. Click the Export button on the right

Additional Tips

  • Use the asset type breakdowns in the summary boxes as one-click filters to jump straight to the assets that need attention.
  • Save your most-used filter combinations (e.g., "Non-compliant videos") for quick access.
  • Click on the file name for direct access to the asset in the preview layer.
  • Click the folder link to jump directly to the folder an asset is stored in.
  • Check the Trends tab regularly to see whether your overall accessibility compliance is improving over time.
  • Utilize multiple filters for more refined results.
