Web Browser Interaction
The Ready Access Portal UI uses select web browser features in the following ways:
• Text Size: The Ready Access Portal UI responds to changes you make for the web browser text size.
• Favorites: You can bookmark the Ready Access Portal UI, the login address, and specific views within the UI.
• Full Screen: The F11 key allows you to view the Ready Access Portal UI without the web browser framework
(Full Screen view). We recommend you view the Ready Access Portal UI in Full Screen view to maximize room
available for Ready Access Portal UI content.
Keep in mind that if you use Full Screen view, you do not have access to the web browser Back, Forward, Refresh,
and other buttons. As an alternative, you can use key strokes or the mouse right-click menu to navigate.
Navigation/Menus: When you are logged in to the Ready Access Portal UI, use care when using Windows® Internet
Explorer® web browser buttons and menus.
Back (or Backspace key): Returns you to the previous address. If you navigate from the Ready Access Portal UI
to another address while you are logged in, you can click the Back button to return to the UI. Navigating to another
address does not log you out of the Ready Access Portal UI. If you use the Back button to log in multiple users,
devices in your Metasys system may reset.
Forward: Allows you to move forward in the browsing history. If you use the Back button, you can use the Forward
button to return to the next address that you accessed.
Refresh: Refreshes the values that appear in the current view.
The Ready Access Portal UI refreshes automatically every 5 to 15 seconds. If a problem exists with the automatic
refresh, an orange triangle with an exclamation point appears next to the Logout button. For more information, see
Ready Access Portal Troubleshooting.
Home: If you click Home, your designated Home page appears. You are not logged out of the Ready Access Portal
UI.
Favorites: You can bookmark the address for the Ready Access Portal UI, the login address, and specific views
within the UI. If you are not logged in, and you click a Ready Access Portal UI bookmark, the login screen appears.
New Windows: If you want to run more than one Ready Access Portal UI window, open a new window from the
Start menu or double-click the Internet Explorer web browser icon. Do not create a window using the File > New
Window selection, File > New > Tab selection, or the Ctrl-N shortcut.
