You upload your accessibility audit report spreadsheet directly into the Accessibility Tracker Platform, and every issue becomes a trackable item within minutes. From there, your team can assign, prioritize, and work through remediation with full visibility into progress toward WCAG conformance.
The process is designed to be fast. No reformatting. No copy-pasting issue descriptions into a separate project management tool. The audit report is the starting point, and everything flows from it.
| Step | What Happens |
|---|---|
| Upload | Import your audit report spreadsheet into the Accessibility Tracker Platform in its existing format |
| Issue Mapping | Each accessibility issue from the report becomes an individual trackable item inside the platform |
| Prioritization | Apply Risk Factor or User Impact prioritization formulas to decide what to fix first |
| Remediation Tracking | Assign issues, update statuses, and monitor progress toward WCAG 2.1 AA or 2.2 AA conformance |
| Validation | Mark issues as resolved after fixes are verified by your auditor |
What Format Does the Audit Report Need to Be In?
The Accessibility Tracker Platform accepts audit report spreadsheets. If your auditor delivered the report in a standard spreadsheet format with columns for WCAG criteria, issue descriptions, locations, and severity, you are ready to upload.
Most accessibility audit companies deliver reports this way. The platform is structured for clarity and maps directly from standard audit report formats. Reports from any provider work, as long as they follow a tabular format with issue-level detail.
There is no need to reformat or restructure your data before uploading.
How the Upload Works
Inside the Accessibility Tracker Platform, you go to your project and upload the spreadsheet file. The platform reads each row as a distinct accessibility issue and populates your project dashboard automatically.
Each issue retains the information from the original report: the WCAG success criterion it maps to, the description of the issue, the page or screen where it occurs, and any severity or conformance level data the auditor included. Within a few minutes, your full audit is a live, interactive project.
Prioritizing What to Fix First
Once your issues are loaded, deciding where to start matters. Not every issue carries the same weight. A missing form label on a checkout page has different urgency than a decorative image with a redundant alt attribute on an internal staff page.
The platform includes Risk Factor or User Impact prioritization formulas that rank issues based on their real-world consequences. Risk Factor weighs legal exposure, while User Impact weighs the effect on people who rely on assistive technology. You can apply either formula or both, depending on your compliance goals and organizational priorities.
This is one of the points where teams save the most time. Instead of reading through dozens or hundreds of issues and debating which ones to address first, the prioritization formulas give you a data-driven starting point.
Tracking Remediation Progress
Each issue in the platform has a status. You can assign it to a specific developer or team member, set a target date, and update the status as work progresses. The dashboard reflects these changes in real time, so anyone on the project can see exactly where things stand.
This visibility is what separates organized remediation from scattered efforts. When accessibility issues live in a spreadsheet that gets emailed back and forth, version control breaks down. People lose track of what has been fixed and what still needs attention. The Accessibility Tracker Platform centralizes everything.
AI-powered remediation guidance is also available inside the platform. When a developer opens an issue, they can receive context-specific advice on how to address it. This feature reflects ongoing research into ways AI can make remediation workflows more efficient.
When Issues Are Fixed, Then What?
Fixing an issue is not the final step. Validation confirms the fix actually resolves the accessibility issue without introducing new ones. Your auditor evaluates the remediated pages or screens, and once confirmed, you mark the issue as resolved inside the platform.
The platform tracks your overall conformance progress as issues move from open to resolved. Over time, this gives you a clear picture of how close you are to full WCAG 2.1 AA or WCAG 2.2 AA conformance, which is the standard most organizations target for ADA compliance and procurement requirements.
What About New Issues After the Initial Audit?
Digital products change. New features, updated content, and redesigned pages can all introduce new accessibility issues. When you get a follow-up audit or evaluation, you upload the new report the same way. The platform absorbs it into your existing project so your remediation history stays intact.
This makes the platform effective for ongoing accessibility management, not a one-time project. Organizations working toward Section 508 conformance, EN 301 549 alignment for the EAA, or continuous ADA compliance all benefit from this approach.
Can I use a report from any audit provider?
Yes. The Accessibility Tracker Platform accepts spreadsheet-format audit reports regardless of which company conducted the evaluation. The report needs issue-level detail with WCAG criteria references, descriptions, and page locations. If it has that structure, it will upload and map correctly.
Does the platform replace the need for an auditor?
No. The platform is a project management and tracking tool. A manual accessibility audit by a qualified auditor is the only way to determine WCAG conformance. Scans only flag approximately 25% of issues. The platform organizes the results of that audit so your team can act on them efficiently.
How long does it take to upload a report and start working?
Most teams are up and running in under ten minutes. Upload the spreadsheet, let the platform populate your issues, apply a prioritization formula, and your first assignments can go out immediately.
Centralizing your audit data and remediation workflow in one place removes the coordination overhead that slows most accessibility projects down. The Accessibility Tracker Platform turns a static report into an active, trackable path toward conformance.
