Internet Security Settings

When using workflow on the web, Internet Explorer needs to open Word and Excel in order to populate your project documents. By default this operation will either be totally disabled or will force you to confirm the operation each time.

If you receive either of the two messages below, then you need to follow the instructions in this topic.

 

Workflow_IE_Warning

OR

Automation_Error

 

To resolve this problem, you need to change your internet security settings within Internet Explorer.

First of all make a note of the URL in the Internet Explorer Address bar; it will look something like the image below.

 

UrlAddress

 

•        Select Tools from the Internet Explorer Menu

Select Internet Options… from the Tools menu
Select the Security page

 

Click the Trusted Sites icon (shown highlighted in red below):

 

TrustedSites1

 

Click the Sites… button

 

TrustedSites2

 

•        Enter the URL address from the Internet Explorer address bar into the top field. Remove all text after the initial address (ie. Remove from the /TimemasterWeb onwards)

Click the Add button
Click the OK button

 

Next click the Custom Level… button on the same Security page

 

InternetSecuritySetting

 

Scroll down to the Initialize and Script ActiveX controls not marked as safe

Change this setting from Disable to Enable

Click the OK button

 

 

 

Any images shown may be representative of the previous version of Timemaster
