Design Forms and Workflows in ISIM being blocked by the JAVA security Settings

Everyone has this issue when they are opening the workflows or design forms for the first time in any machine and you get this freaking error all the time.
The Easy solution for this is a simple configuration on your machine



There is things that you need to do, in order to fix this. 

1. Go to Control Panel and click on JAVA. But make sure you install the java first before doing this.
for ISIM I would recommend using 1.6 JDK or JRE for it 


2. Add the ITIM url to the trusted URL's in Java Configurations: <<<OR>>> (less secure)(3)


3. Lower the Security Level to Medium, so that all Java apps will be allowed after security danger promt (as always, change this setting at your own risk). 



4. Restart the browser, and try again
