    Web Portal Requirements

    The SmartUse - Web Portal is an administrative console used by project administrators and document control managers to set up projects, manage users, and upload drawings and documents.

    Internet Browsers

    We recommend using the latest version of these web browsers for the best SmartUse experience:

    NOTE: Uploading Plans directly from STACK to SmartUse is not currently supported when using the Safari web browser, but you can still manually move plans.

    NOTICE: Internet Explorer is no longer supported. SmartUse may run in other browsers, but functionality may be affected. Mobile device browsers may not provide the best experience when using the Web Portal.


    Processor & Memory

    i5 processor with 8 GB of RAM or better is recommended for the Windows App and Web Portal.

    The Android App supports the use of a SD card.

    Document storage in offline mode requires approximately 2.5 Mb per drawing (1 Gb ~ 400 documents).

    TIP: As a general rule, SmartUse will run best on devices less than 4 years old.


    Internet Connection Speeds

    Recommended speeds: Download ≥ 20 Mbps, Upload ≥ 5 Mbps

    Minimum speeds: Download ≥ 10 Mbps, Upload ≥ 2 Mbps

    TIP: You can check your internet connection speeds for free at www.speedtest.net.

    NOTE: The SmartUse App can be used in offline mode, without internet connection, and will sync once an internet connection is available.


    Hardware

    Minimum screen resolution for the Windows App and Web Portal is 1336 x 768.
