    1. If TLS 1.2 isn’t available, enable TLS 1.1.

    3. Some snapblocs features require iframes and third-party cookies. 
      1. Ensure the appropriate browser security settings for iframes are enabled to load snapblocs correctly. 
      2. Follow the browser’s instructions to enable working with iframes and third-party cookies. For example, Internet Explorer set the Launching programs and files in the Iframe security setting to Enable or Prompt. In Safari and Chrome, change the privacy settings to allow all cookies.

    2. Tables that do not fit smaller resolution displays may reduce information presented or allow a horizontal scroll within the table
  3. For Mac OS users on Apple Safari or Chrome, make sure the system setting Show scroll bars is set to Always.
