Configuring the web UI framework extensibility workbench

If you are using Mozilla Firefox and the Mapping Preferences dialog box appears when you open the Extensibility Workbench, you need to configure the application to access the supporting files for the Extensibility Workbench. In your browser, access the optional components menu (usually under the Tools menu) and enable the Sterling Designer extension. A popup dialog box opens, asking you to install two optional components (jsLib and the Sterling Designer extension). Make sure that you install both of the optional components, and then enable them.

This option to install the optional components is only available in Mozilla Firefox. Internet Explorer, the other browser supported by the Extensibility Workbench, uses ActiveX for reading and writing files. In IE, make sure that the ActiveX settings are correctly enabled.

When logging in to the application console from IE, if you get the Could not use ActiveX for file IO warning, then the IE settings for ActiveX must be checked to ensure that all relevant settings are enabled. If these settings are not enabled, you will not be able to view any folder displayed in the Mapping Preferences dialog box while setting the workspace directory for the Extensibility Workbench.

Make sure that the server/site which is hosting the application is added under the secured/trusted sites list in IE.
