- ASP.NET 4.x must be enabled.
Client Workstation
- Users can fill out forms that start a process in Chrome (latest version), Safari(Mac only), Firefox (latest version), Edge (Chromium based), Opera.
- The Laserfiche Forms Inbox, Form Designer, Process Designer, Administrative pages, etc. must be viewed in Edge (Chromium based), Firefox (latest version), or Chrome (latest version).
