Internet Browsers

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

• Google Chrome - Download Here

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.
