Ability to store & track VPAT® documents
As part of the procurement or licensing process, many libraries may request that a vendor provide a VPAT® (Voluntary Product Accessibility Template) in order to indicate their compliance with Section 508 of the US Rehabilitation Act. It would be desirable if functionality could be developed somewhere in Alma that would allow libraries to track & report whether/when a VPAT was requested and received, which VPAT version was used, and local notes related to accessibility testing.

In my opinion, it would be something similar to the license function. I need to be able to link a VPAT with a specific product/POL as necessary, or sometimes just with a Vendor.Being able to see at a glance what the date of the VPATs are, and fields that are option so that we can track the version, follow up notes, etc

Dear All,
Thank you for submitting this idea. I'd like to ask, how would you expect to see the indication that a VPAT was requested and received. Would you refer to additional fields in the vendor entity? Would you expect a functionality with these fields, or will they only be for display reporting purposes?
Many thanks,
