Incorporate names for data tables in PowerPlay Studio where information in a cell requires a row or column header to adequately describe the cell’s contents.

Why is it Useful?

PowerPlay Studio Accessibility enhancement:

Currently, there are no header and cell association for data tables created in the workspace area of PowerPlay Studio.  For screen reader technology users, the reading order of a data table will not be sensible when read without the row and/or column headers. The content in a data table would be best understood for accessibility when data cells are programmatically associated with relevant headers.

How should it work?

Data tables displayed in the PowerPlay Studio workspace have clear relationships between rows and columns to assist screen readers with analyzing row and column headers associated with a particular cell.

Who would benefit from it?

Screen reader technology users
