Kinetic screen comes up blank in browser - troubleshooting guide

Another helpful tip, I personally put this as a .5 or maybe a 1.5.

Ctrl + Alt + I while on the app.
I’ve failed to find exactly what this does, but it appears to either clear server cache of the app or tell the server to rebuild the app.

You’ll notice that you get that same greyed out screen and a longer load just like open and close app studio causes.

Huh - I never included that. Good one.

Personally I have never seen it work. But I know several others have. I just completely forgot to include it.

OK, lol I just figured out what you meant - the sequence ranking. I thought it was like out of 5 stars or something. :rofl:

But yeah, if it works, it is the least invasive of them all. I’d say it’s a new #1.

I think this might be the new #1!!!

We just had a college intern figure this out for us. He right-clicked in the slideout panel and near the bottom it said “Refresh Frame”. He clicked that, and it has loaded for the user ever since. The user had the issue with Microsoft Edge, but it worked fine with Chrome. After the “Refresh Frame”, it is no longer an issue in Edge. I just wanted to provide an additional troubleshooting option…especially since it is so easy! I hope this helps someone else out.

OK, come on, you’re not going to put a picture with that?!

What version is this - it says you are on 2024.2, right?

Or this is an Edge/Chrome thing?

(Edit) I am not seeing this in my 2024.1…

I can finally answer something on this site!

I’m using Edge and it doesn’t appear everywhere. For example, I was in Order Tracker and it didn’t show for memo, change log, call log or attachments. But I was in the slide out to print a Sales Order Acknowledgement Report and got the option.

Sorry @JasonMcD ! I was still in chaos mode from the weekend upgrade, so I didn’t have time to grab a screenshot.

@spencer is 100% correct in what he stated. It isn’t every screen or even slide-out, but where we were having the issue was on a specific slide-out and it resolved the issue. This issue was only happening in Edge as Chrome was the temporary workaround until he found this right-click > Refresh Frame.

Your post was a lifesaver @JasonMcD.

We had a weird one happening this morning: noone could create new jobs. You’d click +, devtools would show the call to show the new jobnum slider:

… but nothing actually happened- not even a blank slider. Worked in the smart client but not in anyone’s browser.

your step 1) open base layer in application studio did the trick for us.

Prior to this I had tried: cache refreshes, browser changes, removing our custom layer, disabling all BPMs, app server retstarts, shrinking DB log files, trawling app server event log… So a) phew and b) thanks.

@klincecum you created a wiki? Thats sounds awesome, where can I find it? :pray:
