Web Browser Settings
Here are a few settings to check to ensure you have the best experience using ServiceCore.
- Enable Cookies
Make sure cookies are enabled in your browser so all parts of ServiceCore work as expected. - Enable pop-ups and JavaScript
ServiceCore uses pop-ups and JavaScript to display previews, errors and alerts. Make sure pop-ups and JavaScript are enabled in your web browser. - Set your screen resolution
Please set the minimum screen resolution of your computer monitor to 1024 x 768 pixels. If you're using a laptop or netbook, try setting the resolution to 1200 x 800 pixels if items on the screen appear out of place. - Check your web browser add-ons
Sometimes, browser add-ons, extensions, ad blockers, or plugins can interfere with the functionality of ServiceCore. You may want to disable these extras or try a browser without them if you encounter unexpected behavior in ServiceCore. - Check your network speed
If you experience issues using ServiceCore and suspect that your connection may be the problem, run a network speed test. If your connection speed is lower than 1,000 kbps, your experience with ServiceCore may be slow. Ask your internet service provider if anything can be done to optimize your connection speed, or try the suggestions in this wikiHow article about how to maximize the speed of your internet connection. - Check your location settings
When you are entering a customer or site address into ServiceCore and you are not seeing the address type-ahead suggestions, then your location services in your browser might be disabled. Simply go to your browser settings, and find under the "Privacy and Security" section a setting called "Locations". You enable it by adding https://app.servicecore.com to the trusted URLs.
