Summary

Notes

Cursor may lose focus when attempting to log into Qbyte Exchange

Issue: When logging into Qbyte Exchange, focus may be lost when entering the Server URL field.

Workaround options:

  1. Copy the URL to be entered in the ‘Server URL’ field, then tab into the field and paste it. Focus will still be lost on the field, but the paste will remain and you are able to login.

  2. Clear out all your saved URLs. Removing all the URL options from the dropdown will revert the ‘Server URL’ field to a simple textbox, and then you can add the URL field you are working in. Once you have entered a URL and logged in, subsequent logins will have the original issue and you will need to clear out the saved URL from the dropdown.

Unable to open output from the Process Monitor in Qbyte Financial when using Adobe Acrobat Extension for Chrome

Issue: Report output launched from the Process Monitor in PDF format will not open when using the Adobe Acrobat Extension for Chrome and will result in a Run Time Error.

  1. Select the three dots in the top-right corner of Chrome.

  2. Choose More Tools > Extensions to see all the installed extensions.

  3. Turn the toggle switch to OFF, found in the bottom-right corner.

Unable to Open Attachments saved as PDF Portfolio in Qbyte Financial.

Issue: The PDF viewer built into Chrome and Edge cannot support PDF Portfolio file types. Opening an attachment saved as PDF Portfolio brings up a link to download Adobe instead of the file contents.

Resolution: This issue is resolved by downloading the PDF Portfolio attachment and opening it up in an Adobe/PDF Reader application.

Voucher or Invoice Images (Mixed Content Downloads)

Issue: The Voucher or Invoice images are not displaying from the external imaging system when launched from a Qbyte Financial screen or a Qbyte Optix report. This occurs on Chrome version 88 (or later) and Edge version 85 (or later).

Resolution: As of Chrome version 88 and Edge version 85, mixed content downloads are no longer supported. Therefore, the URL setup for the Voucher and Invoice images in Qbyte Financial and Qbyte Optix must be downloaded over a secure HTTPS connection. Please refer to the following links for more information:

Please work with your imaging system provider to ensure the imaging links are secure and update your imaging setup in Qbyte Financial and Qbyte Optix accordingly.

Instead, the file is redirected to the Downloads menu, and the pop-up box appears blank. This issue started to appear on certain versions of the Microsoft Edge browser, for example, 93.0.961.52.

Resolution: Microsoft issued a fix for this problem. Ensure you update your Microsoft Edge browser to at least version 94.0.99238.

Issue: Attachments of the Microsoft Office documents variety (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) do not open from Qbyte Financial when using the Microsoft Edge browser. This issue started to appear on certain versions of the Microsoft Edge browser, for example, 96.0.1054.29 and higher.

Resolution: This issue was resolved in the Qbyte Financial 22.1 release. If you are not on version 22.1 or greater of the Qbyte Financial application, you will need to disable the Open Office files in the browser setting on your Microsoft Edge browser.
