Query Builder - Operator values

  • Feedback needed: display values as symbols or text? Slides

    • Symbols are not accurately read with screen readers

      • = changed to “equals”; != changed to “not equal to”

    • Consensus from group: If some of the symbols must be text, then all of the symbols should be text.

    • Text will require localization; symbols were international
