WFDSS Navigation Tips

WFDSS is a web-based program that is best used with Internet Explorer 11 and/or Google Chrome web browsers. WFDSS is optimized for IE11. Sometimes, WFDSS does not function correctly in other browsers (e.g. buttons are greyed out when they should be available). If you run into these kinds of issues in Chrome, try IE11 and see if the issue persists.

The most common behaviors that result in WFDSS application error include the following:

• Failing to wait for 'Done' to appear in the web browser status bar before generating new program actions or inputs
• Using the web browser refresh function to refresh the document window instead of using navigation tools provided within WFDSS
• Using the web browser back button or browser history to go back instead of clicking Return (if available) or using other navigation tools provided within WFDSS
• Using multiple browser windows that results in shared session information
• Use of hyperlinks to decision content, or copying/pasting heavily formatted text/tables from Word without first clearing formatting; these actions can corrupt decision content and impede publishing.
