Workstation Hardware and Software Requirements
Rosetta supports all the leading browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Safari (for end-users only). There is an ongoing process of monitoring new browser versions and checking their compatibility with Rosetta.
Staff PC Configuration
All staff Web-based workstations should be able to run the minimum supported version of an approved browser as listed below on a Windows operating system. Hardware requirements are minimal and are based only on the need to run the browsers in a given operating system.
Browser Certification
Ex Libris' browser certification is based on industry usage statistics. The following table describes the certified browsers:
| Browser | Description |
|---|---|
| Microsoft Internet Explorer® |
Starting from March 2021, Rosetta no longer supports the Internet Explorer® browser, no longer fixing potential display and performance issues on IE. |
| Microsoft Edge® | Microsoft Edge® is certified as a successor to Internet Explorer®. Ex Libris makes every effort to test and certify the most recent stable version of Edge on an ongoing basis. |
| Mozilla Firefox® | Ex Libris makes every effort to test and certify the most recent stable version of Firefox on an ongoing basis.
In addition, Mozilla offers an Extended Support Release (ESR), based on the official release of Firefox for desktops, for use by organizations—including schools, universities, businesses, and others who need extended support for mass deployments.
Ex Libris will make every effort to test and certify the latest ESR version, after the overlap period between the older and newer ESR version is over.
|
| Google Chrome® | As with Firefox®, Ex Libris makes every effort to test and certify the most recent stable version of Chrome® on an ongoing basis.
Google Chrome® applies updates automatically.
|
| Safari® |
Safari® is certified for both Apple OS and iPad in landscape orientation and for Mac operating systems. As with the other browsers, Ex Libris makes every effort to test and certify the most recent stable version of Safari® on an ongoing basis. |
Discontinued Browser Version Support
Ex Libris supports the current browser version and one previous version. When beginning to support a new browser version, Ex Libris stops supporting the oldest supported version. In addition, Ex Libris may discontinue supporting a certain browser version based on its industry usage. Issues reported that are specific to a browser version that has been discontinued are not actively investigated or corrected.
Browser Display Resolutions and Other Requirements
Rosetta's user interface is designed to work with the following screen resolutions and monitors:
- Minimum recommended monitor size is 17"; 19" is preferable
- Minimum required resolution is 1364x768 (1920*1050 recommended)
- For all browsers, JavaScript and cookies must be enabled
Miscellaneous
- Network Interface Card with Internet/LAN connection
- TCP/IP installed and connection to server tested
- Telnet or terminal emulator client (administrator's machine only)
- FTP (administrator's machine only)
- Mouse or roller ball, or another pointing device
Unicode Font
Rosetta works in Unicode. We recommend the installation of an appropriate Unicode font on both the PC and browser. The chosen Unicode font should include all characters that you use.
If you use a CJK character set, the fonts are quite heavy and the load time of pages may be slow. Therefore, if you use only Latin characters, choose a Latin Unicode font for better performance.
