Create your Account

To start using LYNX you have to register as a user. You can either register as a new user or login by invitation.

Register as new account and first user

After you have downloaded LYNX for the first time LYNX will ask you to register. 

As a result of the initial registration process a Default workspace is automatically created, and as the first user you will become the Space Owner for your Default space. 

You will receive an invitation to activate your account on this address, see figure:

After selecting Activate Account , you will be asked to update your profile and set your password.

After registration you can login with your email and password:

 

Your first screen and workspace

Once you have registered, LYNX has automatically created a Workspace for you in the role of Space Owner. 

In your workspace you can add your projects  and the typical skills and resources (the resource / skill matrix) that would be assigned to projects and tasks. If you open Lynx, you will get the following view:

 

 

Explanation:

• Your first screen after starting LYNX is always the My activities screen. 
• At the top of the screen the active Workspace is displayed. If you are a new user, the first part of you email address will be automatically the name of your space. The order of the displayed names is: First name & Last name, Company - Space name.
• If you are invited as a user the name of an existing Workspaceis displayed. In this example, Welcome to Lynx.

First user always receives the Space Owner role

As the first user for a workspace you will automatically receive the Space owner role for your created workspace.  

You can review this via the Users/Logins table as shown in the following picture:

 

Invited to Lynx?

Most of the users in LYNX would become a new user through the sharing and invitation process and workflow. In this case you don't need to create an account: this is already done for you when you were invited by another user (e.g. Space owner).

In this case there is already a Company workspace and also a Space owner (typically the portfolio manager or system admin) who is sending out the first invitations to colleagues and team members inviting them to join the Company workspace, and in a specific role (e.g. Task manager, Team manager). 

Invitation by Email from A-dato support

When you are invited to become a user in an existing workspace, you will receive the following Email:

After selecting Activate Account, you can follow the same steps as when you Create your Account.

After you have logged in the following screen will be displayed:

Explanation:
