Three times a year a new updated version of the software is released, see [[Updates]] for details of when they are released.  If you wish to see the new features before they are made available to your live system it is recommended that you set the update date of your training/test version to be before your live system.  For details of changing your update date see [[Help Centre]].

A browser is an application on a computer or device that is used to access the internet.  The system can be used on a wide range of modern browsers including, MS Edge, Mozilla Firefox, Chrome and Safari,  our system supports the latest two versions of each these browsers. '''We will be removing support for Internet Explorer 11 in line with Microsoft on the 17th August 2021.'''
 
 
 
 
 
It is important that your browser is kept up to date with software updates from the manufacturer.
 
 
 
 
 
'''DO NOT tr log into two systems (live system and a training system) on the same browser.  If you work on different systems, maybe your live and training, then you will need to use two separate browsers, one for each system.'''
 
 
 
 
 
===Browser Add-ons===
 
Consideration must be made for what browser add-ons you have.  An add-on is a small program that has been downloaded and installed  on to the browser.  Some browsers may read and capture the data from the websites that you visit, this would include any online CRM system.  These add-ons may seem to be innocent but even spelling and grammar checkers may upload your data and store it on their own systems.  It is important that you trust you add-ons and have viewed the privacy policy of these third parties.  For further information please contact you IT Department.  The diagram below displays how this may happen.
