Kanban Board Reorderable Only by Drag and Drop

2.5.7 — Dragging Movements

Scenario

Setting

A ticket marketplace's seat-selection map

What’s wrong

Kanban boards / sortable lists movable only by drag (no "move to…" menu, no cut/paste, no arrows).

Example

A ticket marketplace's seat-selection map runs into this exact issue: kanban boards / sortable lists movable only by drag (no "move to…" menu, no cut/paste, no arrows).

Why it matters

People with limited dexterity and switch, eye-gaze, or voice users who cannot drag. Here, on a ticket marketplace's seat-selection map, the result is they can't operate the feature without a mouse.

How to test

Try reordering a kanban board or sortable list via a 'move to.' menu, cut/paste, or arrow buttons instead of dragging: if none exist, it fails.

How to fix

A single-pointer, non-dragging alternative (buttons, menu option, tap) must exist for the drag operation.

Outcome

After the fix, the same visitor to a ticket marketplace's seat-selection map can now keep track of where they are on the page.

Who is affected

People with limited dexterity and switch, eye-gaze, or voice users who cannot drag.
