                      The terms used in the Conformance Level information are defined as follows:

                      • Supports: The functionality of the product has at least one method that meets the criterion without known defects or meets with equivalent facilitation.
                      • Partially Supports: Some functionality of the product does not meet the criterion.
                      • Does Not Support: The majority of product functionality does not meet the criterion.
                      • Not Applicable: The criterion is not relevant to the product.
                      • Not Evaluated: The product has not been evaluated against the criterion. This can be used only in WCAG 2.0 Level AAA.
