We’re pleased to announce that the next release of Prism is now available for preview. This release includes the items below:

• Accessibility fixes
• Updated accessibility statement

Accessibility fixes

We have fixed a problem where the focus was lost when tabbing between the Search button and the Build search link (1 tab) on a number of pages (WCAG 2.4.7 Focus Visible).

Two issues with the contrast between the text and the background colour have been fixed (WCAG 1.4.3 Contrast (minimum)). Firstly, on the full record page the contrast has been increased on the ‘Expand All’ and ‘Collapse All’ links and the text now turns red when you hover over it.

In addition, on the Build search page the hints under the search fields have been made darker.

Updated accessibility statement

The default accessibility statement within Prism has been updated to reflect the Model accessibility statement provided by the UK government.

Release procedure

Please review the preview version as early as possible, to familiarise yourself with the new functionality. Other functionality, extensions and styling will be unaffected by this change.

It is necessary to use the prism-demo.librarymanagementcloud.co.uk/{your tenancy name} URL to preview a release, even if you have your own host name for the live service.

Release to the live service

Prism will be released to the live service on Wednesday 31st July 2024.
