Fixes for common myIDEA 'bugs*' 

*These  'bugs' are usually caused by the internet browser, not myIDEA.

• When Printing, Adobe Reader seems to be cutting of my document - demonstrates how to use the "Fit" choice in the print dialog box.
• Pop-up Blocker: When I click print nothing happens. The pop-up blocker for your browser is blocking the .pdf window from opening. Click here for instructions on deactivating pop-up blockers in Firefox, Chrome and Internet Explorer.
• If your password no longer works in myIDEA, but you can still sign into your computer, email, Office 365, your password may be expired.
  • Your password expires every 90 days.  To reset it, you will need to sign into Encore to change it. 
  • If you don’t access Encore frequently, and you’ve surpassed the 10 day grace period, then you will need to call the helpdesk (2-5600) to have your password reset.  (Currently the only notification users receive of an upcoming password expiration is inside of Encore.  If you don't use Encore routinely, you might miss this warning.) 
• Medicaid clarification for use during IEP meetings.
