Our developers always work hard on avoiding any errors or bugs in our FARO programs but errors still might occur. In those cases, it is extremely helpful for our development team to get as much information about the error as possible. Therefore, we ask you to pass on important information that can be found in your browser's console.
Below, we explain in a few easy steps how to open the so-called browser console and how to take a screenshot of the console to pass on to our support team when experiencing any issues in any of our web solutions like the HoloBuilder Web Editor or Sphere XG Viewer:
