Clearing the Browser Cache

Follow

If a feature or function in PensionPro doesn't seem to be working as expected, an easy first step to resolving the issue is to clear the cache of the web browser being used. The cache is used by web browsers to store files on the device in the background, enabling web sites to load faster. Sometimes these files can break or become outdated, causing issues with web-based applications until the cache is cleared.
