• discover and manage tags
• compare scans with CAD models

Join a Session

Create a Cintoo Account

Optional - this step is for users who have never used Cintoo. With a Cintoo account already in place, skip to Sign In.

Cintoo Workspace signs in with a Cintoo account and only lists projects that account can access. A new user gets both through a project invitation:

1. Session host or project administrator invites new user to project from web app.
2. Two emails are received - one with subject line "Cintoo: Username has invited you to join the team" and another with subject line "Cintoo: Username has invited you to Project Name".
3. Open "Cintoo: Username has invited you to join the team" email and click Join The Team.

    

4. Fill out form, accept Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, and click Join Now.

    

5. Note Cintoo address shown in "Cintoo: Username has invited you to Project Name" email - eu.cintoo.cloud, us.cintoo.cloud, ca.cintoo.cloud or a custom company domain. Same address is used as Targeted tenant when signing in to Cintoo Workspace.
   Note: if emails from Cintoo do not arrive, check Spam or Junk folder. Full account creation steps are in Accessing Cintoo for the First Time - Project Invitation.

Sign In

1. In starting menu, set Targeted tenant to Cintoo address from invitation email - eu.cintoo.cloud, us.cintoo.cloud, ca.cintoo.cloud or [company name].cintoo.cloud.

    

2. Click Sign in with Cintoo. Cintoo login page opens in browser - enter same credentials as in Cintoo web app.

    

3. In Authorize application dialog, click Allow, then return to Cintoo Workspace.
   Note: a project used in a session must be accessible to Cintoo account - access is managed in Cintoo web app by project administrator. A user just added to a project must sign out of Cintoo Workspace and sign back in - project list is refreshed at login only.

Enter Session ID

1. Open Sessions tab.

    

2. Enter Username - obligatory step, saved between sessions
3. Click Join Session
