Cautions and Warnings

Browser Issues

The documentation was created using Firefox on an Ubuntu host. Any browser should work, but we have not tested the process on other browsers.

One specific problem encountered involved data retention from a prior user. On each screen verify the username is your username and not any other user’s information.

If the username information deviates from your information stop the process, open a blank tab, exit all the Microsoft screens, then clear all the browser information (Firefox shown below).
