2020 Icovia Space Planners

Why do I see a "Get Flash" message even though I have the Flash Plug-in installed?

The latest releases of all web browsers now require that the Adobe Flash Plug-in is enabled in a users web browser. You will also be asked to "Allow" it to run anytime you access a web site that uses Flash.

Here are a few simple things to do whenever you are launching a 2020 Icovia Space Planner from a businesses web site or when you are connecting to the My Account page to launch the 2020 Icovia Design Edition Service. 

Enable Flash in your web browser - REQUIRED

• Each web browser has a specific method for enabling Flash. If you haven't enabled Flash in your web browser click here and you will be taken to Adobe's web site where you will find information under Step 4 specific to the web browser you are using.

If you have correctly enabled flash your next step is to launch the planner you use or launch the Design Edition Service login page. 

If you Launch a planner directly via a planners URL

• If you have bookmarked a company's planner URL remove "/icovia.aspx" from your bookmark as it will not perform the Flash check and will leave you frustrated. 

If you are Design Edition Planner Service User

• If you are a Design Edition user you should be launching the Design Edition Service via this web page click here and scroll down to the "Sign-In/Sign-Up" button.

What do I do when I see "Get Flash"?

If you have enabled Flash in your browser and launch into a planner or the Design Edition Service as described above you will see an image with a message to Get Flash or the words Get Flash. Select the image or message and a Pop-Up will appear in your web browser asking you to "Allow" Flash to run. You must select "Allow" and you should be on your way to creating professional designs. 

Watch for the non-Flash release of all 2020 Icovia planners scheduled for Spring 2019!

Happy Planning!

Difficulty Launching, Using or Logging Into a planner? Here's some things to know to keep your PC or Mac running efficiently.

Newer PC’s are evolving with faster processor speeds, larger hard drives, and higher amounts of system memory. At the same time new web browsers cache (store) significant amounts of information. While caching of information is beneficial for surfing the web, cached information stored by your web browser can prevent you from logging into web applications, degrade overall application performance and in some instances will cause an application to timeout. A user needs to perform some simple and ongoing maintenance in order to keep their PC or Mac operating efficiently.   

General Practices - A user of web based applications should:

1. Log into web based applications only when you need to use them.
2. Save your work regularly while you are working. 
3. Log out and close your web browser when you are finished with a web based application.
4. Log out of a web application if you use a laptop and regularly put your laptop to sleep.
5. If you need to leave your computer for a period of time, save your work and log out. If your machine goes to sleep you may not be able to recover your work. 
6. Never log into a web based application from multiple computers at the same time using the same user account information.

Plug-ins such as Flash - If the web based application you are using requires a plug-in such as Adobe Flash:

1. You may need to install, update, or enable the Flash plug-in within your browser.
2. Please see https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html  for help with Flash including installing, updating, or enabling it in your web browser.

Browser Maintenance - On an ongoing basis users should clear their web browser cache:

1. This will prevent web based applications from becoming sluggish, unresponsive, timeouts and login issues from occurring.
2. Please see https://www.wikihow.com/Clear-Your-Browser%27s-Cache for information on clearing various web browsers cache.
3. Close your web browser and restart it after clearing the cache. If you use a Mac, make sure to close the web browser and not the web browser window.
4. Power off your PC or Mac after clearing cache and restart it.

If you are using the 2020 Icovia Design Edition Service - Please remember that this is a single user license subscription service!
