Tips for Success in eProtocol
Use a recommended browser.If you are on a Windows machine, eProtocol works best when using Internet Explorer. If you are on a Mac machine, eProtocol works best when using Safari.
You may experience difficulties when using other operating system/browser combinations. Please avoid using Firefox, Mozilla, or Netscape as these browsers are NOT fully supported.
Allow pop-up windows.Pop-up blocking software prevents the eProtocol application from opening certain windows. You'll need to make sure that your browser has all pop-up blocking software disabled while using eProtocol.
Avoid using your browser's BACK button.Instead, use the menus and links within the application to navigate.
SAVE frequently.eProtocol will time out after 45 minutes of inactivity. Only actions which cause the page to refresh or reload (such as saving or navigating to a new section) are indications to the system that your session is active.
Be patient.Some processes can take a minute to run. Although data is loading, your browser may not indicate activity.
Read the Instructions.Many pages in the application offer instructions right on the page to help guide you and answer the most common questions. You can also see our FAQ page.
Sign Out when done.To protect your private information, always log off and shut down your browser completely (close all browser windows) when you are finished using eProtocol.
