Turn Off Auto-Fill In Your Web Browser

The auto-fill feature automatically fills in fields according to the data you have previously used. In most cases, this is a useful function but can often cause frustration when automatically entering unwanted data into a new field within HRWize and web browsers alike.

Unfortunately, there is no way to turn auto-fill off via HRWize. The only way the auto-fill issue can be resolved is through your desired web browser, once auto-fill has been disabled, you can resume entering data within HRWize fields with no issues.
