- A "Cancel" button to close the dialog.
The second one named "dayOfTheWeek add-on settings" opens the parameters of the add-on to specify whether you want to report labels for date fields or not, it is composed of the following elements:
- Enable accessibility of the date selector;
Level of the announces of labels, you will then have 3 choices:
- Long (it's the default choice);
- Short (for short announcements);
- Off (to disable labels announcements).
