No, unfortunately not. From the Box.com website:

Box for Office is not compatible with the following products:

  • Office 2007 or older
  • Windows XP or older
  • Any version of Office for Mac
    • Unfortunately, the Mac version of Office is not nearly as extensible as the version on Windows, so it is not currently possible for developers to create as rich of an integration.

Why do authenticated forms embedded in unauthenticated web pages display a 401 Access Denied error using Firefox 40? (link)

Version 40 of Firefox intentionally disables authenticated content embedded in unauthenticated web pages if the page and content are in different domains. 

This can be manually fixed by:

  • typing “about:config” in the address bar
  • clicking “I’ll be careful, I promise!”
  • searching for the Preference Name:  network.auth.allow-subresource-auth
  • Click the “1” next to that in the Value column and change to “2”
  • click OK. 

Once you refresh the page it will prompt for login.

How does an administrative assistant access and use Datatel to find course and student information in order to support their department and its faculty members? (link)

If you need access to Colleague, please go to https://managementtools.wlu.edu/AccessRequest/ and request an account. Once the proper approvals are granted, an account will be set up for you. Accounts are set up on an individual basis and they should not be shared with anyone. In most cases, when dealing with course and student information, the Registrar’s office will provide some level of training or guidance on how to access the data you require.

 

 

If you already have access to Colleague but cannot remember your login information or have issues accessing the system, go to http://webhelpdesk.wlu.edu and create a ticket under the category of Administrative Data – Colleague Issues/Requests. Once submitted, the ticket will be automatically routed to the appropriate person who can help you resolve problems.
