Steps
Start customising your new database system using the following steps.
1. Accessing your database
Example database URL: https://app.artlogic.net/XXXXX/ (encrypted and secure). Your unique URL is an encrypted form of connection that ensures your data is secure, like when using internet banking. You will have a unique account ID for your organisation, which is what replaces the XXX. This is often your organisation name, with no spaces. If you are not sure what you account ID is, please check with your account administrator, who will be able to share this with you.
- Bookmark your account's URL address for easy access.
- Change your password to something secure once you have logged in via the user icon to the far right of the menu bar. This is also where you can set up two-factor authentication (which will send a six-digit sequence to your phone each time you attempt to log in).
- Forgotten your password?
2. Manage your user(s)
