Q: Sometimes when I work in SWIFT for a while, I have trouble viewing pages or accessing SWIFT. I've heard I need to clear my cache. How do I clear the cache in my computer?

A: “Clearing the cache” means deleting browsing history. Clear the cache on your Internet browser when:

  • SWIFT pages fail to load, do not load correctly, or display the “404 Error” message.
  • There are financial management system upgrades or issues.
  • The MN.IT or SWIFT Help Desk recommends refreshing your Internet browser.
Internet Explorer is the recommended Internet browser for accessing SWIFT. However, you can use Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.

The Clearing Browsing History and Cache guide provides directions on how to clear your cache for these three Internet browsers.
