Generating HAR file

note
If you are having any issues with TaxCaddy then please contact TaxCaddy Support team first. You only need to generate the HAR file if it is specifically requested by the TaxCaddy Support team.
Generating a HAR log file creates a network activity log that TaxCaddy Support team can use to troubleshoot difficult issues. You may be requested to record your network activity log while the issue is occurring. Once you reproduced the issue, provide the HAR file to TaxCaddy Support Team for further analysis.
You can create HAR report for the following browsers:
  • Chrome
  • Edge
  • Firefox
  • Safari

  4. Make sure the
    Preserve log
     checkbox is selected.
  5. Look for a round
    Record
     () icon in the upper left corner of the tab and make sure it is red. If it is grey, click it once to start recording.
  6. Click the
    Clear
     () icon to clear out any existing logs from the
    Network.
  7. Reproduce the issue that you were experiencing before, while the network requests are being recorded.
