Internet Explorer settings

Officially, the Release 7 Element Manager requires Internet Explorer 6.0.2600 or higher, and the Java Runtime environment.

However, if you use Internet Explorer 8.0, you must also configure the compatibility view setting - otherwise the tree view structure in Deployment Manager won't work:

  1. Go to the Tools menu and select Compatibility View Settings
  2. On the Compatibility View Settings page, select Display all websites in Compatibility View
  3. Click Close
IMPORTANT!  Internet Explorer webpage caching must be turned off in order to see EM changes.

    1. Goto Settings and More (ALT-F) ➤ Settings ➤ Default Browser
    2. Under Internet Explorer Compatibility, click the drop down to Allow Sites to be reloaded in Internet Explorer mode and select Allow
    3. If changed, you will need to click Restart

  2. To use Internet Explorer Compatibility Mode for site:
    1. Open the target website, eg: ss0.pbxbook.com
    2. Right-click the site tab, and select Reload tab in Internet Explorer mode
    3. Switch on Open this page in Internet Explorer mode next time, and click Done
