In order to access iSAMS, you must enable pop-ups. However, most browsers now block pop-ups by default so you must add an exception for the iSAMS website.

Browsers will usually notify you that they have blocked a pop-up window from opening and allow you to add a permanent exception:

Alternatively, you can add exceptions manually via the browser settings pages - this has the advantage that some browsers allow you to add exceptions for all school websites using a wildcard(*) in the server name.
Browsers are regularly updated and the instructions below may vary if you have an older or newer version of the browser.

  1. Click the Tools menu in Internet Explorer - looks like a cog in top right corner - and select 'Internet Options'
  2. On the 'Internet Options' window, select the 'Privacy' tab

  4. In the 'Pop-Up Blocker Settings' window:
  5. Click 'Close' to close the 'Pop-Up Blocker Settings' window

Safari 9.1

Safari does not allow exceptions, so the pop-up blocker must be disabled completely:

  1. Click the Safari menu and select 'Preferences'
  2. On the Preferences window, click the Security tab
  3. Untick 'Block pop-up windows'

It is recommended that you re-enable the Safari pop-up blocker when you have finished using iSAMS.
