eFinance FAQs
Browser
SunGard supports IE. We have found that Chrome works mostly but has issues with printing. FireFox seems to work just fine but you may want to change your PDF view options (see below)

Pop-Ups
eFinancePLUS and the training sites use pop-ups for display. You must enable your browser to allow pop-ups from these sites (listed above).
Printing
Printing is now to the “screen” also to file and excel in some instances. These can then be saved or printed. Usually this is a PDF but sometimes a RPT file that can be opened in Notepad
Short Cuts
To copy data for cutting and pasting:
Highlight text/value to be copied, control+C, click in the box into which the information is to be pasted and control+V.
Files
Printed items and saved files can be accessed again from the documents pane on the main window. Also the window where the filed were printed will often have recent documents linked at the bottom for quick access.
Looking for Files - Shortcut
If you are looking for a recent report, file, or other item you sent to the screen or excel then it may be in your J drive. Look for a rpt folder.
Open PDFs
Tired of saving and opening reports? You can use the browser extensions to view PDFs in the Browser. In FireFox you can go into tools > options > Applications. Search for PDF and change to view in browser option.
