Accessible Power BI reporting
Links
When including links in a Power BI dashboard, you should use clear and descriptive link text.
Avoid linking to:
- Inaccessible or untrustworthy sites
- Sites where a user must pay or register to see the information
Link text
Link text should describe where the link is taking the user. Users should be able to understand where they are going by the link text alone.
Link text also allows screen readers to read where the link will take the user.
Go to our accessible content guide for more information about link text and how to use it.
Examples
Bad link text: https://fingertips.phe.org.uk/
Good link text: Go to the Department of Health and Social Care Fingertips website
How to present links
Do not use colour alone to show that a link is a link (different from normal text). Make sure that link text also has an underline.
