Overview
Are you having issues seeing your website correctly in Internet Explorer 11? Or are you just curious about how to delete the cache in Internet Explorer 11? If you answered yes to any of these then below are some simple steps you can take to clear the cache in Internet Explorer 11. This should fix any issues you may see with your website. Remember any time that your web developer makes any changes to your website it's a good idea to clear your browser cache before reviewing the website. This will remove any old files that have been loaded from the web server to your computer and will replace them with the new updated files that your web developer added to the webserver, forcing them to re-download to your computer.
Some browsers handle cache better than others. We've found that Internet Explorer can be stickier that most browsers when it comes to updating your cache files. If you are still having issues seeing your website the way you intended you may want to make sure taht your Emulation is set to the default of Internet Explorer 11. This can be found under the "Developer Tools" section.

How do you manage a menu system in your website that has related hyperlinks to different pages on your website per page? It's a bit harder than just having a menu that is the same on every page in the site. You have to be a bit more inventive in the approach. Virteom has a module that allows you to select certain hyperlinks that would show up in a menu based on the content on the page you are currently viewing. Let's walk you through that module and how you can use it to manage related content. We'll use Magnet's website to demonstrate the example.
Looking at the Side Menu
If we look at the side menu we can see it has 5 hyperlinks that go to 5 different pages. The owner of the website wants the flexibility that these would be different per page. On the next slide we'll show you the backend and how you can simply manage this sitewide.
Log Into Virteom
To manage those links on that side menu globally simply log into your Virteom and click on the 'Manager" button on the top menu.
Open the Modules section of your Virteom
On the side menu click on "Modules"
Open the "Sidebar Menu" Module
Managing the "Sidebar Menu" Inventory

Features Described in the Video
Merging Lists - How to take one ore more email lists and merge them together.
Deducting Lists - How to deduct one list from another. For example if you had a 1500 person list as potential registrants for your conference and you had 350 people registered, you could use this tool to deduct the registrants from the non registrants list in a matter of seconds rather than doing this manually.
Create a List - After you've imported many members into the system it may become necessary to create new lists from the combined member population from all of the lists imported over time. This tool will allow you to do that. It will also allow you to add new customers that became your customers through the Virteom shopping cart and so on.
Edit Lists - Gives you the ability to add and remove people from existing lists.
Filter Lists - This feature allows you to use database filters such as first name, last name, email, company, state and zip and then use a keyword search against those filters to create custom lists. This will be useful for larger list populations in the Virteom Platform.
We hope you enjoy this in depth video on how to use the list management tools for email campaigning inside of Virteom.
