System requirements

Applies to these Dynamics 365 apps:
Human Resources

This article lists the system requirements for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Human Resources. It also outlines the countries and regions where Human Resources is available, and information about languages and localization for Human Resources data.

Supported web browsers

Users can access Microsoft Dynamics 365 Human Resources using any of the following web browsers that run on the specified operating systems:

  • Microsoft Edge (latest publicly available version) on Windows 10
  • Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 10, Windows 8.1, or Windows 7
  • Google Chrome (latest publicly available version)
  • Apple Safari (latest publicly available version)

To find the latest release for each web browser, go to the software manufacturer’s website.

Special considerations

  • To enable Task Recorder to capture screenshots and include them in Microsoft Word documents that are generated, you must install a pre-release Chrome extension
  • The Workflow Editor is started as a ClickOnce application. Only Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer (on a supported version of Microsoft Windows) support ClickOnce applications. The Workflow Editor ClickOnce application requires a 64-bit compatible operating system.
  • To preview PDF files, we recommend that you use modern browsers like Microsoft Edge (latest publicly available version) on Windows 10, or Google Chrome (latest publicly available version) on Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7, or Google Nexus 10 tablet.

Network requirements

  • Human Resources is designed for networks with latency of 250-300 milliseconds (ms) or less. This is the latency from a browser client to the Microsoft Azure data center that hosts Human Resources. We recommend that you test network latency at www.azurespeed.com.
  • Bandwidth requirements for Human Resources depend on your scenario. Typical scenarios require a bandwidth of more than 50 kilobytes per second (KBps).

Warning

Don't compute bandwidth requirements from a client location by multiplying the number of users by the minimum bandwidth requirements. The concurrent usage of a given location is very difficult to calculate. For customers who are concerned about bandwidth requirements, use a trial version of Human Resources.

Supported Microsoft Office applications

  • To run the Microsoft Excel and Word add-ins, you must have Microsoft Office 2016 for Windows or Mac installed. For more details about version requirements, see Office integration troubleshooting.
  • To view documents that are generated by the Export to Excel or Export to Word functionality, you must have Microsoft Office 2007 or later installed.

Regional availability, languages, and localization

You can download a PDF file of the countries, regions, and languages Human Resources supports at International availability of Microsoft Dynamics 365.

Note

While the user interface is localized into other languages, all user data is stored in the language in which it was entered. You can create emails and templates in other languages, but data such as scheduling information is only available in English at this time.

If you're a developer interested in creating country- or region-specific customizations, or in creating a solution for a country or region not currently supported by Microsoft, see Globalization.
