To troubleshoot particular errors, a Workable support specialist may request that you send a HAR file so that the issue can be investigated.
A HAR file is a recording of network requests. The recording will document everything that loads in your web browser behind the scenes. It will help us pinpoint errors or issues that are occurring.
Follow the instructions below based on the web browser you're using. You'll start a recording of website data, then reproduce the steps you took when the error occurred. This recording will be saved as a HAR file and you'll need to send it to our support team.
- Open Google Chrome, sign in to Workable and go to the page where the issue occurred.
- Click the three vertical dots in the upper right of the Chrome window.
- From the menu, select More Tools, then Developer Tools.
- A panel that has several tabs will appear, click on the Network tab.
- Look for a red or gray record button. The button must be red to record the HAR file. If the button is gray, click it to start recording.
- Select the Preserve Log checkbox.
- Select the Clear button, which is right next to the Record button.
- You're ready to record. If needed, minimize the panel by dragging and dropping from the top (or side) of it, but be sure not to close it - don't click the X. You can also zoom in on the web page by selecting the zoom percentage at the top.
