Multimedia Staff Assemble! It's time to talk about Chrome on the desk computers.

Hey everybody,

As you may have noticed, we now have Chrome installed on every computer at the service desk!

Iron Man threw a party to celebrate the installation of Chrome.
So if you prefer to use Chrome over Firefox then this is good news for you. That being said, as of right now there are some unresolved issues between Chrome, WMS, and our StaffWeb:

  • Chrome by default will block any plugins from running on any webpages. The WMS staff website needs plug-ins to function in order to properly connect to the receipt printer. To make sure that plug-ins work, go to WMS, click on the puzzle piece with a red X on it in the top right corner, and select "Always allow plug-ins on multimedia.lib.udel.edu". If you don't see a puzzle piece icon, then Chrome isn't blocking plug-ins at that time and the receipt printer should be working.
  • If you are using Chrome on either of the two computers that are on the left of the register, you will notice that the Staffweb Intranet webpage (the webpage where the shift switcher, operational protocols, telephone lists, etc. are) will not load due to Chrome automatically blocking any pop-up windows. So far, no one has found a way to stop Chrome from blocking the pop-up window. If you need to access the intranet, just use Firefox.
An example of what happens if you don't follow these tips.
If you follow these tips then your experience using Chrome on the service desk computers should be a lot more enjoyable.

Loki has pre-approved of these tips.
