If you're attempting to export a PDF or XLS file from ABOSS and it doesn't seem to work, the issue might be due to your browser blocking pop-ups. Here's a step-by-step guide to adjust your Google Chrome settings to allow pop-ups and ensure a smooth file export process.

Step 1: Check for Pop-up Blocker Notification

  • Look for an icon with a red "X" in your browser's address bar. This indicates that pop-ups are being blocked.

Step 2: Access Pop-up Settings

  • Click on the green "Lock" icon located in your address bar.

  • A dropdown menu will appear. Here, you can adjust your pop-up settings. If you don't see the 'Pop-ups' option directly, click on 'Site settings'.

Step 3: Change Pop-up Permissions

  • Ensure that the pop-up settings are set to "Allow". This will permit ABOSS to open new windows (pop-ups) as needed for file exports.

Step 4: Refresh Your Webpage

  • Reload your webpage to apply the changes. You can do this in several ways:

    • For Windows users: Press "F5".

    • For Mac users: Press "Command (⌘)" + "R".

    • Alternatively, click the refresh icon in your browser.

Final Step: Try Exporting Again

  • After refreshing, try exporting your file again. The export should now proceed without any issues.

Troubleshooting

  • If you continue to experience difficulties with exporting files even after allowing pop-ups, please contact our support team for further assistance.

This guide should help you manage your browser settings to facilitate successful file exports from ABOSS.
