Simple Image Descriptions (SIDD) Tool
Upload previews to SIDD and retrieve descriptions from SIDD with this tool
With images and regions added to the InDesign document reading order, the spread previews uploaded to MasterPlan and the SIDD Base set up we are ready to use the SIDD (Simple Image Descriptions) tool. See more info on SIDD (Simple Image Descriptions) Setup article.
Click the SIDD (Simple Image Descriptions) tool (found in CircularFLO and GreenLight Tools > Accessibility Tools > Image Description) and the MasterPlan job number is used to make a link to the corresponding SIDD (whose name starts with the same number).
With a SIDD linked this button opens the SIDD Description Editor which is shown in the browser. A searchable list of images are presented in page order, a selected image is shown with a large image preview plus fields for adding and editing alt text and extended description, and a button for previewing image context in the publication.
Tip: If the SIDD Description Editor doesn't show up immediately, and you are faced with a table rather than this editor view, click the Interface button at the top of the browser window.
