ProPlans Help

Accessibility

ProPlans works with the screen reader built into your device: VoiceOver on an iPhone, iPad or Mac, and TalkBack on Android. Turn it on in your device’s own accessibility settings; on a Mac, Command-F5 turns VoiceOver on and off.

With a screen reader

Section titled “With a screen reader”
  • Every button says what it does, including the ones that show only an icon, such as Menu, New project, Next sheet, Send and the markup colours. A selected colour, line weight or shape says that it’s selected, and a greyed-out button is read as dimmed.
  • Switches in Settings and elsewhere say their name and whether they’re on.
  • Unread conversations and notifications are read as unread, a muted conversation as muted, and a downloaded project as Downloaded.
  • You don’t need to swipe. While a screen reader is on, rows show a ••• button with the actions a phone otherwise gives you by swiping or pressing and holding: conversations, notifications, people in Contacts, documents and plan sheets.
  • Project cards offer Project options and Project information as actions. On an iPhone, swipe up or down on a card to hear them.
  • Photos you’ve just added to a note, task or message each have their own Remove button, so you can take one off before sending.

Text size

Section titled “Text size”

ProPlans keeps its text the same size whatever text size your device is set to, so that labels and the text beside them stay in step. To make messages easier to read:

  • Open the menu, then Settings, and drag Message text size, from 85% up to 160%. It sets messages, task comments and the previews in the conversation list. Reset goes back to 100%.
  • Or pinch a conversation or a task’s comments, outwards to make the text bigger. A label at the top shows the size, with Reset beside it. Both change the same setting, which stays when you sign out and back in.

Easier to hit

Section titled “Easier to hit”

Back arrows and close buttons respond to a tap just beside them, not only on the icon. Tapping a button twice by mistake does what it says once: one message, one project, one approval.

A keyboard instead

Section titled “A keyboard instead”

On an iPad with a keyboard, or a Mac, Esc closes what’s in front, Tab moves through a form and Command-F goes to the search box. See Keyboard shortcuts.
