idXready FAQ |
| Q: Can I install idXready™ programs on more than one computer? |
| A: No. idXready™ programs can only be installed on one computer. If you are a user of both a desktop and a laptop computer, we suggest installing idXready™ programs on your laptop computer. |
| Q: Can I uninstall idXready™ programs, and then re-install them? |
| A: No. Once a program is installed on a computer, it is tied to that computer. If it needs to be moved to another computer due to a system crash or a computer upgrade, there is a Transfer License process that can be used to move the license to a different computer. Contact us for information on transferring a license. |
| Q: What is “pre-work?” |
| A: Pre-work is the work that respondents complete prior to training sessions. The pre-work is sent as a link, or an access code, from your (or your sub-account’s) EPIC account. Respondents click on the link and are asked to respond to several questions. Their responses are then interpreted and incorporated into an individualized Participant Workbook, which you will present to the respondent during your training session. |
| Q: Can you run a Group Report, Facilitator Report, or a Team View Report based on the participant’s responses? |
| A: Not at this time. |
| Q: If an idXready™ program uses DiSC® or Team Dimensions, and I have a participant who has already taken one of those assessments, can I import their existing data to create their individualized Participant Workbook? |
| A: Not at this time. |
| Q: Can I customize idXready™ programs (add or remove pages, slides, etc.) if I don’t think that the entire program fits my client’s needs? |
| A: The Participant Workbook is generated through EPIC and is a locked PDF. Pages can be removed, but the page numbers cannot be changed, so removing pages will cause the pagination to be off. The Leader’s Guides are editable and allow you to customize and add/omit facilitation notes as needed. However, if your additions are longer than the space available on the existing page, the pagination of your Leader’s Guide will not be synchronized with the Participant Workbooks and PowerPoint slides. The PowerPoint slides can be edited, or hidden, however, we caution you in doing this, as the edits that you make to the PowerPoint slides will not be reflected in the Participant Workbooks, which may cause confusion in your training sessions. |
| Q: If I have loaded my idXready™ programs onto my laptop, can I customize the PowerPoint file on my desktop and transfer it to my laptop at a later time? |
| A: Yes. You will need to save the PowerPoint file to a flash or USB drive from your laptop first. You can then edit the file on your desktop or another machine using PowerPoint. Once you’ve completed the edits, your updated PowerPoint file will need to be moved back to the laptop and inserted into the proper folder. For instance, if the file was located in C:/idXready programs/Capitalizing on Team Talents, the updated file will need to be copied from the USB drive into that same directory. Keep in mind that when working on the PowerPoints on your desktop computer, you will not have access to any of the video for that idXready™ program. The video can only be viewed by using the idX Launcher. |
| Q: Does idXready™ replace Everything DiSC®? |
| A: idXready™ is not meant to replace Everything DiSC. Everything DiSC remains the most comprehensive DiSC resource available, and is still the best facilitation resource for those who are crafting customized solutions. idXready™ programs are intended to be “ready-to-go” programs, meaning a novice facilitator should be able to pick up a program and facilitate with confidence, ease, and minimal preparation. The idXready™ product line is ideal for trainers who are expected to conduct in-house training on their own. idXready™ programs also allow you to facilitate in areas outside of your expertise with confidence! |
| Q: What is the difference between the three Team programs? |
| A: Capitalizing on Team Talents and Collaborative Skills for Teams both incorporated data from the Team Dimensions 2.0 assessment. Collaborative Skills for Teams is more situational, focusing on an individual’s role as it relates to interpersonal skills, time management, communication, and project management. Capitalizing on Team Talents is geared more towards motivating a team based on their strengths and understanding their limitations. Reducing Team Conflict utilizes the DiSC profile to help individuals understand their own behavior in a conflict situation. |
| Q: What do I do if my computer crashes, or if I get a new computer? |
| A: Contact us so that we can put you in touch with our tech support for assistance with transferring your license. |
| Q: Can I email idXready™ reports to participants? |
| A: Yes. Since idXready™ rides on EPIC, you have the same abilities to View/Print, Save, or Email a report. However, there will probably be very few instances where you will want your participants to have their Participant Workbook prior to a training session, as the information means very little to them outside of the classroom experience. |
| Q: Is the video from idXready™ programs available to purchase separately from the programs? |
| A: Not at this time. |
| Q: What version of PowerPoint is required for using idXready™ programs? |
| A: PowerPoint 2003 or later is required to run an idXready™ program. |
| Q: Do I need an internet connection to register and load the program? |
| A: Yes |
| Q: Do idXready™ programs work on Macintosh computers? |
| A: Not at this time. |
| Q: Can idXready™ programs be used for virtual training? |
| A: Due to the high resolution of the video assets contained in each idXready™ program, it will most likely be a facilitation challenge in a Webinar type of seminar setting, as the streaming and buffering of the video will cause “jerky” playback of the video. |
| Q: How long does it take to launch the idXready™ Launcher? |
| A: The launch program normally takes less than 30 seconds to decrypt the videos and prepare your PowerPoint presentation. |
| Q: What are the system requirements for idXready programs? |
| A: ·Microsoft Office 2003 with Power Point 2003 ·Microsoft Windows 2000 (Service Pack 3 +) or Windows XP (Recommended) ·Adobe Acrobat Reader 7 or higher (free at www.adobe.com) ·Adobe Flash Player 9 or higher (free at www.adobe.com) ·USB Ports (USB 2 recommended) ·512 MB of memory (Recommended) |
