MyConfigura

To log in to MyConfigura or CET Designer, a MyConfigura account is required.

In case your organization has one person handling all licenses within the organization, you will most likely receive an email from him/her that contains a link to a registration form where you can setup your account. This generates a MyConfigura ID, which is your email address, and a password which are used to log in to MyConfigura, see Figure 1. If you do not receive an email, please contact the person administrating your licenses.

If you handle your own licenses, you are provided with a MyConfigura account by Configura which you are informed about via email. This email contains a link that you click to log in to your MyConfigura account, where you view your details and select a password. When clicking Save, your current, machine-based licenses are converted into user-based licenses. When the conversion is complete, you can start using your MyConfigura ID and password.

Dashboard

The Dashboard is the start page that is always displayed when you log in to MyConfigura. The News feed shows the latest activity in the community. This way, you can easily keep track of important information that concerns you. From here, you can easily reach other sections of MyConfigura or go to the official Configura website.

Briefcases

The Briefcases tab opens the community available in MyConfigura. A Briefcase can be compared to certain topic or a group where people interact with each other by posting information, comments or uploading files. Each user has a free storage space of 1 GB for uploading files, for example CET Designer drawings, PDF files, images or videos. Clicking the Your storage indicator next to your profile pictures shows the files you have uploaded and how much storage space is being used.

My Account

On the My Account tab, you can make changes to your MyConfigura account at any time. Change your MyConfigura ID and password, change your name and email address, or update your contact information. You can also select a profile picture that is shown, for example, in briefcase posts.

The Notifications settings let you control which email notifications you receive from MyConfigura. General subscriptions are for Configura newsletters that you have signed up for, and Briefcase subscriptions are for briefcases that you either manage or have been invited to.

Under Licenses, you will find up-to-date information about valid licenses and Extensions that you run. There is also a Downloads section where you can access and download CET Designer specific material.
