Configuring the Chrome Browser

Introduction

Careful attention to browser configuration settings helps to ensure the best Synapse performance. Default settings usually need modification. For example, default settings in Chrome can negatively affect your ability to open PowerJacket and Viewer windows at the same time, if pop-up blocker policies are applied to PowerJacket.

• Configuring Basic Chrome
• Configuring High Resolution Monitors
• Configuring Sleep Mode Options
• Disabling Profile Syncing

Note:

You must install the FUJIFILM Synapse Extension to ensure maximum browser support. See Browser Considerations. If you use the Clinical Reporting Application (CRA), you must install the Synapse Extension.

Configuring Sleep Mode Options

The Chrome browser provides several options that you can use to configure sleep time for your computer.

1. Navigate to Settings > Performance.
2. Choose the preferred sleep setting for your computer:

Choose this option...	If you want to do this...
Memory Saver	Select this option to turn on sleep mode for all tabs. This setting applies to all internet sites and pages, unless you select and configure the Always keep these sites active option. Note: Deselecting this option turns off sleep mode for all tabs. If this setting is off, you do not need to add the Synapse URL to the Always keep these sites active option.
Always keep these sites active	Enter the Synapse URL to exclude it from this setting. Note: This is the recommended setting. If you add the Synapse URL here, there is no need to disable the Memory Saver setting. Without setting this option, if you leave the CRA and Viewer idle for a period of time, CRALite goes into sleep mode and any attempt to save a report will time out and fail.

Disabling Profile Syncing

Disable Profile Syncing to have a specific profile with the expected settings and extensions that are required for Synapse.
