Research direction
Start at the signature management page and locate the signature list table described in the report. Check each table header cell and add the requested column association; done means screen readers announce the headers while navigating the table cells.

Description
Bug Report
Problematic behavior
In the signature list table, header cells (<th>) do not have scope attributes, preventing assistive technologies from properly associating data cells with their column headers.
Expected behavior/code
Each <th> should carry scope="col" so that screen readers can announce column headers when navigating table cells.
Steps to Reproduce
- Navigate to the signature management page
- Open the signature list table
- Use a screen reader to navigate through table cells — headers are not announced
Environment
- RGAA Criterion: 5.7
- Severity: 🟡 Minor
Possible Solution
Add scope="col" on each <th> element table.
