Tips for using Admin Console in your browser
Admin Console is a web application that runs in many supported web browsers. Because browsers do have some differences, you may find the following information helpful for successfully running Admin Console.
•If you click the Back, Forward, or Refresh (or Reload) button in your browser, Admin Console exits and the Login page is displayed. Any unsaved changes in Admin Console are lost, and you must log in again.
•Your web browser may display a security message when you attempt to open FileMaker Server Help, the Start Page, or the Technology Tests page. Because this is normal, click the option to continue to that page. See
FileMaker Server Installation and Configuration Guide for information on SSL certificates used by FileMaker Server.
•If the pop-up blocker is enabled in your web browser, a pop-up blocker message may display when Admin Console attempts to open a window. You may see a pop-up blocker message:
•when you attempt to open FileMaker Server Help, the Start Page, or the Technology Tests page
•when you export the Log Viewer pane contents
•when you save a Schedules and Groups settings file
•when you download database files
Change the browser’s pop-up blocker setting to allow these windows to display.
•When you download a file, for example with the Download Database command, the default download location and the dialog box that is displayed vary between browsers. See
Downloading hosted files.
•When loading a Schedules and Groups settings file, the navigation to choose the file is different depending on your browser.
•The Log Viewer lets you export the current listing to a file. Usually, the file is automatically saved in your browser’s download folder; however, your browser may let you select a location. See
Viewing log file entries.
•Admin Console always displays in the language of the web browser in which you started it.
