What is a Browser Cache?
A cache is a repository for stored data on your PC. Caches are used to speed up a process so that data does not have to be recomputed or fetched from its original location each time and, therefore, saves time.
When accessing the Bromcom MIS data is cached to your machine. On occasions you may need to clear your cache as the data and pages that you are trying to access are no longer in sync with that of the Bromcom MIS. An example being we may have modified a webpage in a recent update. Your browser is still calling up this page from it memory (cache). This may cause the page not to function correctly.
