Usersnap Integration

This feature enables the Usersnap integration.

Usersnap is a visual feedback tool that allows collecting user feedback, browser screenshots and visual bug reports complete with additional browser information in the Usersnap dashboard or your existing bug tracking and project management tools. While you can integrate the Usersnap feedback widget in your public-facing website, this feature integrates Usersnap with the editor and administrator interfaces of Gentics CMS.

3 Limitations using Internet Explorer 11

When using Interent Explorer 11 screenshots are done by Usersnap’s rendering engine and not on the client. Static resources such as images and stylesheets need to be accessible by the rendering engine. See the Usersnap documentation for details. Modern browsers will use the native Media Record API built-in in the browsern an therefor not have this issue.
