Accessibility Controls in Zoho DataPrep

Configuring Accessibility Controls in Zoho DataPrep

Zoho DataPrep includes a set of accessibility controls that let you adjust how the product looks and behaves to suit your own needs. You can change text size and spacing, increase color contrast, make links and toggle states easier to identify, and resize the cursor. A list of keyboard shortcuts is also available so you can work through the pipeline editor and the DataPrep editor without a pointing device.

These controls apply to your user account only. They don't change the experience for other users in your organization.

What is accessibility?

Accessibility refers to designing products so that they can be used by everyone, including people with disabilities. For software, this means a user can perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with the product regardless of how they read the screen or operate their device.

Accessibility controls help in two ways:

  • Users with vision, mobility, or cognitive disabilities can complete their work in DataPrep without relying on a setup that doesn't suit them.
  • Users without disabilities also benefit. Larger text, wider spacing, and keyboard shortcuts speed up everyday work for anyone.

Where can I find accessibility controls?

  1. Click your profile icon in the top-right corner of DataPrep.
  2. Under User control, click Accessibility to open the accessibility panel, or Keyboard shortcuts to view the full list of shortcuts.




The Accessibility panel groups the controls under two categories, Vision and Mobility. Every change you make applies immediately, so you can keep the panel open while you check the result.

Accessibility Controls in Zoho DataPrep

Vision



Links are distinguished from regular text by color. If you have difficulty telling colors apart, you can underline every link so it stands out from the text around it.

How to use

  1. Turn on the Underline Links toggle. The change applies immediately.
  2. Links across DataPrep now appear underlined, so you can identify them without relying on color.

Font size

You can set the size of the text across DataPrep without changing your browser's zoom level. Three sizes are available: Small, Default, and Large.

How to use

  1. Click Small, Default, or Large under Font size.
  2. The selected size applies immediately across the product.

Text spacing

Along with font size, you can adjust the spacing between lines of text. Wider spacing makes text easier to read if letters and lines run together for you. Four presets are available: Narrow, Default, Moderate, and Wide, ordered from the tightest spacing on the left to the widest on the right.

How to use

  1. Click Narrow, Default, Moderate, or Wide under Text spacing.
  2. The selected spacing applies immediately across the product.

Zoom level

DataPrep works with your browser's zoom. The layout stays usable between 25% and 125% zoom, so you can enlarge the interface without parts of the page breaking or disappearing.

How to use

  1. Press Cmd or Ctrl with + to zoom in.
  2. Press Cmd or Ctrl with - to zoom out.
  3. Press Cmd or Ctrl with 0 to return to 100%.

Color contrast

Turn on Color contrast to apply a consistent, higher contrast color scheme across DataPrep. This makes text and interface elements easier to distinguish from their background, which helps in bright light and if you have low vision.

How to use

  1. Turn on the Color contrast toggle. The change applies immediately.

Switch labels

DataPrep uses color to show whether a toggle switch is on or off. If you can't rely on color to tell the difference, turn on Switch labels to display the state as a label on the switch itself.

How to use

  1. Turn on the Switch labels toggle. The change applies immediately.
  2. Every toggle switch in DataPrep now carries a label showing its current state, so you can read the state instead of interpreting the color.

Mobility




Custom cursor

A larger cursor is easier to locate and track on screen, which helps if you have low vision or find precise pointing difficult. Three sizes are available: Default, Medium, and Large.

How to use

  1. Click Default, Medium, or Large under Custom cursor.
  2. The selected cursor applies immediately.

Appearance

The Appearance setting is separate from the accessibility controls, but it affects readability in the same way. You can choose from three themes:

  • Light: A light background with dark text.
  • Dark: A dark background with light text, which reduces screen brightness in low-light surroundings.
  • Auto: Follows your device's theme setting and switches between light and dark along with it.

How to use

  1. Click Light, Dark, or Auto under Appearance. The selected theme applies immediately.
