How to get a HAR file and console logs

Learn how to capture HAR files and console logs to help TaskFord Support troubleshoot issues.

If you’re reporting an issue in TaskFord, our support team may ask for a HAR file and browser console log. These files help us investigate loading issues, failed requests, UI errors, and unexpected behavior.

  • A HAR file records network activity between your browser and TaskFord, such as page requests, loading errors, or failed actions.
  • A browser console log captures technical messages and errors generated while TaskFord is running in your browser.

Together, these files help our team identify what happened during the issue and troubleshoot it more efficiently.

Then open your browser developer tools:

In Developer Tools:

  • Select the Network tab.
  • If the tab is hidden, click the >> icon to find more tabs.
