Roadmap Drawing List

Click the above link to learn about navigating the drawing list and utilizing dynamic filter box tools to browse drawings created by all organizations in the Web Tool.

Drawing Properties

Here you have access to "read-only" details about the drawing as a whole. Details will vary depending on whether a drawing version has been published or not.

Listed here are the features you would see if a Roadmap Drawing has been published:

• Roadmap Title Bar - confirming the Organization and the Occupation/Program drawing title
• Approved Program/ Name - if one was assigned
• Alternate Title - if one was assigned, this would become the default drawing title
• Confirmation of assigned Oregon Skill Set category
• A list of OLMIS Occupational Reports this drawing has been linked with, if any
• Embed Code - for embedding the published version in a public website
• External Link - identifying where this published Roadmap has been embedded, with an icon to load the web page in a new browser window or tab
• HTML Link - a icon to preview the published drawing in a pop-up window
• PDF Link - a link to download an automatically generated PDF document of the published Roadmap. This link will always generate a PDF of the most currently published version, rendered identical to your embedded drawings or published HTML link. (See Print To PDF for more information.)
• XML Link - without a specific purpose yet, this URL gives you a text-only view of the XML data that each roadmap is made up of.
• Accessible Link - the URL for an ADA Compliant, text-only, view of the published drawing, with hyperlink navigation for Roadmap content. This URL will ALWAYS link to the currently published version of the drawing.

Published Drawings

Published drawings are publicly accessible, and links to published drawings in external websites, or shared by email, will always reference the currently published version! Click the above title to learn more.

ADA/504 Accessibility Compliance

Viewing Roadmaps

• The transition to using the Canvas technology for rendering roadmaps also enables end-users and Roadmap creators with vision impairments to zoom the view of each Roadmap to a certain extent.
• Using the browser's zoom functionality a Roadmap viewer can zoom a Roadmap in or out of normal view.
• Zooming out too far will cause certain components of the Roadmap to appear broken, or missing color.

Text-Only View

• A URL to an Accessible (text-only/ADA Compliant) version of your drawing is available in the Drawing Properties page, accessible from the drawing list or VERSIONS menu.
• The URL for the drawing will always have the word "text" within the URL, like this:

http://oregon.ctepathways.org/c/text/lcc_drafting.html

• The "Accessible" URL will always link to the published version of that drawing.
• This view eliminates all the graphical components of the roadmaps, and is suitable for viewing in any browser or using a screen reader.
• Include a link to this URL on your web page where you have embedded the full Roadmap drawing so that visitors can access a version of your drawing that will be compatible with screen readers.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: In order for a Roadmap to function in this view, it must be created using Connections that link boxes and content together. If a drawing does not use connections, it will still be visible in this view, however it will be difficult to navigate. It is the responsibility of the Roadmap creator to assure their Roadmaps are created in a way to support this representation.
