Web Browser Support Changes

Change in Supported Web Browsers

FabGuard fully supports the following web browsers:

  • Google Chrome (recommended)
  • Mozilla Firefox

Unsupported Web Browsers with Limited Functionality

Microsoft Internet Explorer 11.0

Microsoft is no longer supporting Internet Explorer beyond Windows 10. FabGuard uses several modern web standards that IE 11 has not been upgraded to support. We recommend migration to a supported browser to avoid loss of functionality.

Safari (data view only)

Tablet and mobile devices can view FabGuard Web, generate Reports, view Run Files, and show any content that can be displayed in a Web page. However, because they do not run Windows, they cannot launch Managers as a Client.

Known Issue with Microsoft Edge and FabGuard Help

Microsoft has made an update to the Edge browser that prevents calling software help directly from the program interface. This is a known issue that has not yet been resolved by Microsoft.

Change the default browser to Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox to call software help from the program interface.
