Workday's rich browser interface is enabled by the Adobe® Flex™ Internet application framework and requires any browser that works with Adobe Flash Player 10.1.53 or later to run correctly. This includes Microsoft Internet Explorer version 7+, Mozilla Firefox version 35+, Google Chrome version 31+ or Apple Safari version 6+ (only on Mac OS X). Adobe maintains a list of supported browser versions here: Supported Browser Versions Note: For optimal results, use Workday on Internet Explorer 7 or later or Firefox 35 or later.
If your organization runs Internet Explorer under the High security level, you need to make some Internet Explorer setting changes for each user running Workday, or users will receive errors and not be able to proceed beyond the home page. Note: There is no need to change Internet Explorer levels if you are not using the High security level. For example, in Internet Explorer 8, configure your browser security settings to run Workday (exact steps might be different for other versions):
To sign into Workday in two different sessions with two different user names, make sure you are in separate browser sessions. One way to ensure separate sessions is to use two different browsers, such as Internet Explorer and Firefox. Note: The above technique is also useful during the update phase from one version of Workday to the next. For example, when switching from Workday 24 to Workday 25 you might want to make it a practice to access Workday 24 with one browser (such as Internet Explorer) and Workday 25 with another browser (such as Firefox). This ensures that users will not have issues signing in to either version. Clear Your Browser Cache: Ctrl+F5 If you receive an error message to clear your browser cache when you sign in, press Ctrl+F5 to refresh (or reload) the page and the cache. For more information:
