IT & Support Questions

How do I get help with the system?

When logged into the iOPharma™ platform, you can use the “Any feedback or comments? click here” link at the bottom left hand corner of each screen. This allows you to select the type of feedback, a title and a description. When submitted this will raise a ticket with our support staff.

Alternatively, if you are unable to gain access to the iOPharma™ platform, you can raise a support call by emailing helpdesk@io-pharma.com with your name, contact number, problem details, the severity of the problem and, if possible, a supporting screen shot of the problem.

I do not use Internet Explorer – can I access the system?

Currently the iOPharma™ platform is specifically written to use Microsoft’s Internet Explorer (IE) version 6 and higher releases of their browser software. We are aware of the growing trend of using other manufacturer’s browsers and future releases of the product will be designed to expand the types of browser supported. If you are experiencing problems with specific functions within the system – please ensure that you are using IE 6 or newer before logging a support call.

What happens to data I have input if the session times out?

Until you have clicked the submit button, all data within a form is stored locally on your machine. Unfortunately if the session between your workstation and the server times out due to inactivity, this data will be discarded to maintain security and you will need to re-enter the information.
