We use JavaScript throughout Greenhouse. If a page or components of your site don't load properly, it could be due to a JavaScript error. These errors can be caused by conflicting browser extensions, browser security settings, or other potential issues.
To help our Support Team at Greenhouse identify issues and provide a resolution, it's often helpful to provide a screenshot of an error in the JavaScript Console of your browser if you encounter such behavior.

2) TIPS FOR CAPTURING ERRORS IN YOUR JAVASCRIPT CONSOLE
- After opening the Console, you may have to refresh the page to capture the error.
- Error lines are the most significant portion of the Console. You may need to scroll to see them. They will be identified with red text or they'll be highlighted.
- Take a screenshot of the entire browser window, including the JavaScript Console, with any error lines that are displayed.
