IE11 Configuration Guidelines for Using Fourth Applications

If using Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 (IE11) with default settings when using certain Fourth products, some display elements and selection boxes may be unavailable or be laid out incorrectly on screen.

Future releases will see all Fourth products be fully IE11 compatible. In the meantime, the following steps should be followed.
 

Configuration

• Open IE11
• Select the Tools cog icon from the top-right corner and then select F12 Developer Tools
