Applies To
SQL Server 2012 Developer SQL Server 2012 Enterprise SQL Server 2012 Standard SQL Server 2014 Developer - duplicate (do not use) SQL Server 2014 Enterprise - duplicate (do not use) SQL Server 2014 Standard - duplicate (do not use)

Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:

  • You have a Reporting Services report in Microsoft SQL Server 2012 or SQL Server 2014.
  • The report uses the tablix column header sorting option.
  • You view the report on a website.
  • You check the HTML source for the webpage.

In this scenario, you find that the tablix column header sorting button images do not contain a text equivalent. For example, the images do not contain a tool tip, ALT text, or TITLE text. This behavior results in Section 508 noncompliance.
