• Known problems and limitations

  The following limitations are only applicable to the Persona-based UI.

  • Translation
    • A few screens, such as the Password screen and Report names on the Dashboard menu, do not display title or button text in the locale-specific language. This translation issue will be resolved in the future release.
  • Microsoft™ Edge and Mozilla Firefox browser
    • The horizontal scrolling on the grids is not smooth.
