Workforce Management 8.5 Product Alerts

• Limitation for WFM Web for Supervisors in Chrome Stable Channel update version 42—By default, this browser version blocks the Java plugin without any pop-up or other indication.
  
  Workforce Management 8.5.x supports Chrome, which means:
  • In WFM Web Supervisor 8.5.0—The java applet cannot be started (hangs on the "Checking Java" message).
  • In WFM Web Supervisor 8.5.1—Attempts to invoke Java applet subsystems prompts a message (after a long delay) that Java is not detected.

  
  RESOLUTION:
  Starting with Chrome version 42, an additional configuration step is required to continue using NPAPI plug-ins.

  To enable NPAPI in Chrome Version 42 and later:

  1. In your URL bar, enter: chrome://flags/#enable-npapi.
  2. Click the Enable link for the Enable NPAPI configuration option.
  3. Click the Relaunch button that appears at the bottom of the Configuration page.
