4. Browser extensions are enabled
Browser extensions can interfere with web sites and applications. If you are experiencing accessing eSpatial or any other web site/application, temporarily disabling all browser extensions can help diagnose if it is an extension issue. Once you have the extensions disabled, try access eSpatial.
5. Is the Installation complete?
Check all steps in the installation guide have been successfully followed - https://help.espatial.com/install-espatial-in-your-salesforce-org
6. Has the user been given proper access to eSpatial?
Ensure the user setup details have been followed from the install guide (https://help.espatial.com/user-creation-and-management ) especially in these three common areas
- Has the user been setup with the correct permissions (using permission sets or profiles) to access eSpatial?
- Has the user been allocated an eSpatial license using Manage Licenses within Salesforce?
- Has the user clicked on the "Access eSpatial" button and granted access to eSpatial?
7. The Add Data Screen keeps refreshing when you press next
This will need to be modified by your CRM administrator to resolve for all users. Your CRM administrator will have to go to

- In quick find, search for "session settings"
- Find the setting "Lock sessions to the IP address from which they originated" and turn it off
8. A user is experiencing issues clicking on "Access eSpatial" when first accessing eSpatial
Please clear your cookies on your browser if you are having issues when you click on the "Access eSpatial" link and then try to access eSpatial again.
9. Browser popups are disabled
Browser popups are required in Salesforce from time to time. Ensure that your browser is configured to allow browser popups on Salesforce.com
10. My Domain Configuration Issue
If you are able to access eSpatial in Salesforce but are experiencing issues such as only seeing a blank grey screen, you may need to adjust your my domain configuration. Please ask your Salesforce CRM Administrator to:
- go to Setup --> Domain Configuration, My Domain, My Domain Settings
- If "Redirected with a warning to the same page within the domain" is set, change to "Redirected to the same page within the domain"
11. Shared Map no longer refreshing
Do you have a map in your organisation that can no longer be synced? Has the Salesforce user (User A) who shared the map left your organisation? If this is the case, you can delete the user in eSpatial by someone else (User B) in your organisation who has access to the same data in the map. User B will inherit all the maps from User A.
12. Cannot access Salesforce Objects
If you have issues accessing standard objects like Accounts and Leads, objects that you should have access to, you may be missing the "API Enabled" option. To set this, ensure that you set this to enabled on the profile for your users.
