Troubleshooting Banner Home Page Loading Issue (How-to)

FOR ITS ONLY

Multiple browsers now have default security settings which prevent the ‘Accept Terms of Usage' frame from properly loading on the Banner Admin home page. A common issue occurs where Users can log in and view the Banner home page. Once a view or screen is entered, however, that page will not load. The loading icon will continue to spin, without timing out. Browser settings which disable ‘cross-site tracking’ will present issues for the 'Accept Terms of Usage’ frame, which users must accept before accessing Banner Admin each day. 

Before adjusting any privacy and security settings, users should clear cache and cookies, as well as disable any add-ons or extensions which block pop-ups.
