Workarounds for this issue:

  • Have the user log in directly to the central campus Tableau server at https://tableau.dsc.umich.edu/. After a successful login there, have the user visit the MRS site and access the report.
  • Alternative #1: Restart the computer
  • Alternative #2: Clear the browser cache and cookies
  • Alternative #3: Use a different browser. This problem is most common with Google Chrome. Firefox is the recommended browser for interacting with MRS.
