Known Technical Issues Regarding the Reporting Year 2010 Data and the Data Publication Tool

Subject Area	Unknown macro: {center} Description
Web Browser Compatibility	Issue: Users with Internet Explorer 8 or below experience sluggish webpage loading and may receive a script error upon entering the Data Publication Tool site that states: "A script on this page is causing Internet Explorer to run slowly. If it continues to run, your computer may become unresponsive. Do you want to abort the script?". Workaround: If you receive the script error message, click "Yes" and proceed with one of the three workaround options listed below to resolve this issue: Option 1. Download and install Google Chrome Frame plug-in Option 2. Update Internet Explorer to version 9 or higher Option 3. Use a different browser such as Google Chrome or Firefox
Tool Visualizations (i.e. Bar, Chart, Pie Chart, and data tree)	Issue: When viewing visualizations at the subsector-level or lower, the data aggregation level changes to sector-level when switching from one visualization type to another. This may also cause the visualization breadcrumbs to indicate the wrong aggregation level. As an example, a pie chart displays the percent contribution of each subsector in the Chemicals sector but the visualization breadcrumbs indicate "Reported GHG Emissions by Sector." Workaround: Select visualization type before applying filters and avoid switching visualization types once filters are applied. To change visualization type, reset/remove all filters, select new visualization type, and then reapply desired filters.
