Setting up Studiometry Cloud

Setting up your Studiometry Cloud account is relatively simple and, once configured, will allow you to easily sync your Studiometry information between computers and/or devices.

1. Signing up for Studiometry Cloud

If you don't already have a Studiometry Cloud account, you'll need to sign up for one first. The easiest way to sign up for Studiometry Cloud is within Studiometry itself.

If you have never used Studiometry on a machine or don't have it installed, you can download Studiometry here. When you first launch Studiometry it will give you the option to sign up for Studiometry Cloud during the setup process. Follow the instructions with the application to create an admin login and your first employee login. To see the differences between Studiometry Cloud login types, please see this knowledge base article. 

If you already have Studiometry set up on your computer with either a trial or with existing data, you can sign up for a Studiometry Cloud account by doing the following:

1. Open Studiometry
2. From Studiometry's menu bar, select Cloud > Enable Studiometry Cloud
3. In the window that appears, select Sign Up for Studiometry Cloud
4. Studiometry will let you know if you need to make any modifications to your data before signing up. This would including assigning a username and password for all employees.
5. Follow the instructions within the application to create your Studiometry Cloud account and upload your initial database.

 

 

2. Uploading your database

If you signed up for Studiometry within the application and not via the website, you can skip this step!

If you signed up via the Studiometry Cloud web site instead of through the application, you will first need to upload a copy of your database before you can log in or add computers/devices. 

If you have never installed Studiometry:

1. First download and install Studiometry form this link
2. Open Studiometry. You should now see the Setup window for Studiometry and options for Studiometry Cloud. If you do not see this then Studiometry has already been installed on your machine and you can read the instructions for uploading your database in that situation directly below these numbered steps.
3. Click Skip for Now. We are doing this because we will first set up our database and employee information and then manually upload the database to the cloud. You cannot connect to your existing Studiometry Cloud account yet because it has no employee logins set up.
4. Continue through the setup process until it is complete and you are presented with Studiometry's main window
5. From Studiometry's menu bar, select Cloud > Upload Database To Cloud...
6. Studiometry will let you know if you need to make any modifications to your data before signing up. This would including assigning a username and password for all employees.
7. You will then need to log in with your Company ID, Admin email address, and Admin password. For information about the different login types for Studiometry Cloud, please see this knowledge base article. 
8. Once your database has been successfully uploaded you can then log in to Studiometry Cloud. If you are not immediately presented with a login dialog, select Cloud Menu > Enabled Studiometry Cloud
9. Select Connect to Existing Studiometry Cloud
10. Enter your Company ID, and then an employee username and password.

 

If you already have Studiometry set up on your computer with either a trial or existing data:

3. Connecting employees or computers/devices to an existing Studiometry Cloud account

Once your account is set up, you can connect more employees or computers/devices to the account for syncing purposes. 

To add Studiometry to a new computer:

1. If Studiometry is not yet installed on the computer, download and install it from this link
2. If Studiometry was never set up on the computer, you will have the option during the setup screen to Connect to Existing Studiometry Cloud

3. In the window that appears, select Connect to Existing Studiometry Cloud
