Problem Solving Tips

Top  Previous  Next

This section contains some general problem solving tips for some scenarios you may encounter while using Encompassing Visions, along with some frequently asked questions.  We are always happy to assist you in solving your Encompassing Visions questions but please consider the following:

 

Identify Who Needs to Resolve the Problem

There are some problems that your IT support staff will be able to solve. Your copy of the Encompassing Visions software is loaded on your company's server using your company's databases. Your application does not communicate to Encompassing Visions systems or personnel.  

 

Therefore, situations requiring access to your server should be brought to the attention of your IT staff.  For example, you should contact your IT support staff for the following:

If you don’t know what the appropriate address is to enter into your browser.

If you enter the appropriate address in your browser and the application login page does not appear.

If you are trying to access your Encompassing Visions application from outside your office and encounter problems.

 

All of these issues are related to the set-up, security or availability of your computer facilities and the application.

 

Before You Contact Encompassing Visions Support...

Note: as we continue to convert pages within the application to work with other browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari), these pages are being re-written to eliminate this issue.  The newer versions of Encompassing Visions contain the most up to date configurations available.

 

Browsers

 

Please use Chrome, Edge or Firefox.
