How to manage your pop-up blocker settings

Overview

Some of our customers get nothing but a spinning wheel when signing into sales-i or exporting something from the system. If this has happened to you, it could be due to your pop-up settings. This guide will show you how to rectify this.

There are two things you’ll need to know.

1) Which browser you’re using. It’s probably Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Firefox or Safari.

2) Your server domain, which is what you type into your browser to log into sales-i. It will be something along the lines of login.sales-i.com. If you’re not sure of this, just ask your sales-i champion.

Once you know these two things, find the tutorial below to match your browser and follow the steps. If for some reason that doesn’t work or your browser isn’t listed, get in touch with our support team and they’ll be happy to help you out.
