    		 The Now Mobile media section headlines do not have headers for VoiceOver access When Now Mobile media sections are viewed with VoiceOver on iOS, the headlines (for example, 'Services') lack headers. The call out will only say the title 'Services', when it should say 'Services heading' as it does for other sections on the screen. As a result, users may have difficulty skimming and navigating to locations on the screen because the navigation commands used to navigate by heading with screen readers are not available.
    1. Configure the Now Mobile app to connect to the instance.
    2. Set up the VoiceOver functionality on the iOS mobile device.
    3. Ensure that the system application is set to 'ServiceNow NowMobile App – Catalog Screens' and 'Applet Launcher/Service Catalog for Mobile'.
    4. Enter sys_sg_section.list in the filter navigator.
    5. In the mobile sections list, click New.
    6. In the 'Select' section, enter the pop-up, select the 'Media' section, and click OK.
    7. Complete the form with test data (for example 'Services Media Section' for the title, 'Services' for the headline, and drag a random image attachment to the form) and select it in the Image field.
    8. Save the forms.
    9. Navigate to System Mobile > Applet Launchers/Launcher Screens.
    10. Select Services in the list.
    11. Click Insert a New Row under 'Applet Launcher Sections'/'Launcher section mappings'.
    12. Set an order of 5 and the UI section to the value you entered as the title in step 7 and save the record.
    13. Log in to the instance in the Now Mobile app and enable VoiceOver in iOS.
    14. Select the 'Services' icon.
    15. Select the 'Services' text and observe the call out.
