How to Read Compliance Sheriff Report
Introduction
Compliance Sheriff is a web-based scanning/monitoring application for web accessibility. It generates summary reports on web accessibility for site webmasters and site owners based on the checkpoints outlined by Section 508. In CSUB we schedule the scanning interval for web accessibility once a week and each week site webmasters and site owners will receive their website reports via notification e-mails. In addition site webmasters are provided with login information to have access to their Compliance Sheriff accounts for details.
