MHLS - Disabling Pop-Up Blockers

Disabling Pop-Up Blockers

In using the Bibliostat software for your library annual report, you need to disable any pop-up blocker installed on your computer so that you get the full functionality of the program, including the ability to print .pdf copies of your report. There are three options: the third is the best.

You can temporarily disable the pop-up blocker while logging in, by hold down the Ctrl Key while clicking on the login button. This key action will need to be repeated when you want to print .pdf copies of your report.
You can disable the pop-up blocker totally for the time you want to be working on your report. Remember to turn it back on.
Directions follow for disabling the most common pop-up blockers so that every time you go to the report you will get full functionality. (Note that your computer may have more than one of these installed, and each should be configured to allow content for http://collect.informata.com to be displayed.)

Yahoo! Toolbar
- The toolbar keeps a list of sites from which it has blocked pop-ups, and then allows you to choose from which of these sites you want to allow pop-ups. In the list of recently-blocked pop-ups, click 'collect.informata.com', and then click 'Allow'.
Google Toolbar
- Click the pop-up blocking button on the Toolbar.
MSN Pop-up Guard
- On the pop-up guard click the black down arrow, then click 'Allow Pop-ups for this Site'.
