TIPS & TRICKS

  • Your organization might block font downloading for some sites. To isolate the font downloads to only the site used for IT Planning, you can request that your network security team add the following font download location to a safe list: https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/
  • You may need to clear your browser cache after changing the settings.
  • If you still don't see the results you expect, repeat steps 3-6 for the Trusted Sites zone. 
  • You can also search for a specific department; type the name you want in the Search Filter.
