People pickers and term pickers might cause issues when using Internet Explorer or the new Edge browser. This can be resolved by adding your SharePoint domain and the WorkPoint Administration to the same security zone. We will be adding these domains to the trusted sites security zone.
To apply these settings to the new Edge browser, follow these steps in Internet Explorer as both browsers use the same internet settings.
Finding the correct WorkPoint Administration domain
- Click on the cogwheel in the top right corner of your screen to expand the settings menu
- Click on WorkPoint Administration
Copy from the URL
- Copy the domain in the URL (ending in ".net")
Internet Explorer security zones

- Close and press OK
