One of the most frequent questions we get from our customers here at the Enterprise Service Desk is how to view our paychecks in iPeople.  For a lot of people, simply clicking on the paycheck date doesn’t do anything and the same can be said for other ISU websites when their browser tries to open a new window.  In these cases, your pop-up blocker may be to blame.  Here is how to disable your pop-up blocker in common browsers:

Firefox:
Make sure you are in the browser.  Right click your mouse anywhere on the page and choose View Page Info -> Permissions and select “Allow” next to “Open Pop-up Windows”.

Safari:
Click on the Safari menu in the top left corner of your screen and you will see the “Block Pop-up Windows” option.  Click on this to disable it.

Internet Explorer 8:
Click on the Tools drop-down option towards the top right hand corner of your browser.  Hover the option “Pop-Up Blocker” and select “Turn Off Pop-Up Blocker”.

Internet Explorer 9:
Click on the gray gear icon towards the top right hand corner of your browser.  From  here, click on Internet Options.  Switch to the Privacy Tab.  Under the heading Pop-Up Blocker, ensure that the “Turn on Pop-Up Blocker” option is unchecked.

Google Chrome:
Click the wrench icon on the browser toolbar.  Select Options (Preferences on Mac and Linux; Settings on a Chromebook).  Click the Under the Hood tab.  From here, click Content settings in the “Privacy” section and in the “Pop-ups” section, select “Allow all sites to show pop-ups.”  You can customize permissions for specific websites by clicking “Manage Exceptions”.

Please feel free to contact us anytime at 438-3308 for further assistance!
