Browser Compatibility

Below are the constraints for the various browsers that are supported for the EBS Portal and HR/Payroll tiles.

---

Enterprise Mode

Relevant for: Internet Explorer

Enterprise Mode forces the user's browser to work in Internet Explorer 8 mode, and therefore is not supported. Employees can recognize when they have Enterprise Mode by looking for the following icon.

 

[ Network Administrators : Please see the directions from Microsoft TechNet to reverse this setting or add the EBS Portal to the exceptions list.]

Private Browsing

Relevant for: Internet Explorer, Edge, Chrome, Firefox ESR, Safari 

Private browsing, inCognito, and inPrivate browsing are not supported for HR/Payroll tiles in the EBS Portal. It prevents access to the browser's file system (a.k.a as the Z" drive") which is necessary to download files, especially spreadsheets).

[ Network Administrators : To remove private browsing from Internet Explorer group policy: User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Internet Explorer > InPrivate > Turn off InPrivate Browsing]
