Process diagrams are difficult to view without scrolling

If you find that process diagrams do not fit neatly into your browser viewing window, or require too much scrolling, you can reduce screen clutter and adjust your settings by customising your viewing preferences

You only need to do this once, and the browser will ‘remember’ the settings the next time you log in.
