What is an Internet Browser's Cache?
Normally your internet browser (Google Chrome, Edge, etc.) downloads web pages and some, to all, of its content to your computer, usually in the folder Temporary Internet Files. This is the browser's cache. When you visit a webpage with files already downloaded in the cache, it will use them to load the page instead of re-downloading the page again. This allows the page to load faster and save some data from downloading.
Sometimes the cache can interfere with the normal use of the webpage and it needs to be cleared to be able to use it as intended.
For the first step of troubleshooting, you could try just clearing browsing data just for MediRecords.
- On the MediRecords Home Page, navigate to the lock at the top of the page.
- Click on the Lock icon> select Cookies and Site Data
- Select Manage Cookies and Site Data
- Click on the Trash Bin icon next to the Medirecords website
- Select Done
