Each customer can have a unique scenario, read the [parameters that impact performance](https://upperdeck.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FBDOCS/pages/5183340667/Hardware+and+software+requirements+FieldBuddy+Dispatch+Panel+V2#Parameters-that-impact-performance) in order to understand the performance of the application. ## Minimal required hardware - 8 GB memory - Intel 9th generation or similar - 1920x1080p screen resolution - Support for hardware acceleration for WebGL (to use map) ## Recommended hardware - 16 GB memory - Intel 11th generation or similar - 3840x2160p screen resolution - Support for hardware acceleration for WebGL (to use map) # Software Latest version of [Google Chrome](https://www.google.com/intl/en_us/chrome/). Other browsers might work but are officially not supported by FieldBuddy.

This causes the user to experience the DPV2 to (re)load when clicking on the tab. This is normal Google Chrome behaviour and is there to save memory and CPU. # Parameters that impact performance ## Data The amount of data shown in the Dispatch Panel is a key parameter in the application performance. The more data, the faster the computer is required. Comparable with Microsoft Excel, opening an Excel file with 100-lines works on every PC. If you require to open up a million lines file, a better PC is required. The following key data impacts the performance of the FieldBuddy Dispatch Panel: 1.
