SPRING 2020

Records More and more sites are no longer compatible with the Internet Explorer browser, making Google Chrome the pre- ferred browser to use for daily operations. However, some sites needed for our work, like EAGIS and SharePoint still require Internet Explorer to work. Instead of switching back and forth between the two browsers, try using an Internet Explorer Extension tab. The IE tab allows users to view pages using the Internet Explorer layout engine. To install: 1) Go to: Google Chrome Webstore 2) Click “Add to Chrome” 3) In the pop-up window, click “Add extension” IE TAB IN GOOGLE CHROME To use IE Tab: Launch Chrome and open the webpage that you want rendered as IE. Click the “e” icon (see below). The page will now be rendered in IE.

If desired, save the URL to your favorites. This tells the browser to use the IE Tab extension when launching a particular webpage. 1) Right-click on the IE Tab icon and select “Options” to see all of the options.

2) Scroll down to the Auto URLs section. Auto URLs are one of the most important features of IE Tab. You typically need IE Tab for just a subset of the web pages you visit. For example, you might want to use IE Tab for all of your Microsoft Sharepoint pages. Auto URLs enable you to specify which pages should be opened in IE Tab auto- matically so you don’t have to click on the IE Tab icon. 3) Copy and paste the url of the site you wish to automatically open in the IE Tab and click “Add”

4) For websites that are made up of multiple pages, such as SharePoint, us the * wildcard at the end of the url (see below).
