    iconNote: 
    Since template URLs are openly accessible, you are advised to enable Template Permission in Template Authentication to prevent information leakage.

    Report Detection

    For FineReport of V11.0.3 and later versions, Report Detection is added. Report Frontend Exception Prompt is enabled by default. For details, see General.

    iconNote: 
    Some browsers (for example, Firefox) do not support Report Detection due to restrictions. Therefore, frontend prompts are not available even if the function is enabled.

    Font Detection

    If CPT reports that do not use New Calculation Engine or FRM reports of old versions contain fonts smaller than the minimum font size of a browser, when you preview the reports in the browser, a prompt will pop up, saying "Some contents displayed in the current report have smaller font size than the minimum font size (12) of the browser, which may cause display exception. You are advised to modify the browser configuration or contact the administrator.", as shown in the following figure.

    Browser Zoom Detection

    When you preview templates in a browser whose zoom level is not 100%, a prompt will pop up, saying "Your browser is in zoom status, which may cause page display exception. You are advised to display the page at 100% zoom.", as shown in the following figure.
