## Accessibility and localization

Accessibility information
:

    Accessibility improvements
    :   Accessibility
        improvements were completed to create a configurable workspace
        that supports WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance.

    Reflow
    :   The configurable workspace supports reflow, which enables pages and content to be zoomed up to 400% through your browser settings without loss of content or functionality. Additionally, content can be enlarged without
        scrolling in two dimensions at a width equivalent to 320 CSS pixels or a height equivalent to 256 CSS pixels. Page layouts are transformed into a vertical, stacked view automatically when users increase browser zoom to 400%.
        This enhancement helps users with low vision or who have trouble seeing web content in a browser due to monitor size, device type, poor lighting, or other situations. Reflow can be turned off with a system property for
        instances, experiences, and pages. See [Reflow for Configurable Workspace](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=auto-reflow&version=yokohama&pubname=yokohama-platform-user-interface&ft:locale=en-US) for details.

[Maintain accurate asset details by creating Asset Attestations](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=asset-attestation-ham&version=yokohama&pubname=yokohama-it-asset-management&ft:locale=en-US)
:   Validate whether assets are in use and confirm asset assignment by performing audits through Asset Attestation to verify through confirmation by employees whether they are still using assigned serialized hardware
    assets.

[Hardware Model Normalization for Operational Technology (OT) assets](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=hardware-normalization&version=yokohama&pubname=yokohama-it-asset-management&ft:locale=en-US)
:   When the OT Asset Management application is installed, standardize your hardware and consumable models with a minimum of one OT asset in addition to the model categories that belong to the opted-in HAM resource categories through the Hardware Model Normalization process. The OT entity flag on the asset indicates whether it's an OT asset.
