Known Issues

We would like to confirm the resolution of the following issues:

• Mobile Access: Some users outside the organisations IP Range and on mobile devices were experiencing errors or not being taken directly to the document when clicking on alert links.
• Initial login: Improvement made to first time loading of home page and documents. Additional improvements are planned in this space.
• Sponsor ID's: Sponsor ID's were not retained when making edits to alert delivery timing causing IP Access to be removed from alerts.
• IP Anonymous Timezone Preference: IP users were defaulting to US timezone causing issues with viewing the latest news content and local date formatting.
