Choosing Between a Local and Cloud Account
•
This chapter will explain the differences between the local and cloud sign-in and how to
toggle between them.
•
SMARTfit is now on the cloud, powered by Microsoft Azure, meaning that systems “No”
longer need a dedicated iOS or Android tablet. Note that internet connection is required
to use the cloud.
•
Data is securely stored and accessed via our mobile application using any device.
•
This allows for advanced features such as empowering users to access their programs
from any mobile device, to share programming between multiple sites, to provide
remote training, to access the global statistics, to develop normative data and to
perform online software updates.
•
The Cloud sign-in is recommended when using the SMARTfit app because it allows you
to take advantage of all that the SMARTfit app has to offer.
•
The local sign-in is an alternative
for those using SMARTfit without always having an
internet connection.
1.
On the home page, select the red
“switch database” icon.
2.
This will allow you to toggle between
local sign-in and cloud sign-in.
3.
Note that data is not shared across
sign-in modes.
4.
With local sign-in, data accessibility is
limited to the local device only.
5.
Accounts created in this mode do not
have the ability to sync data to the
cloud continuously.
6.
Upon sign-up of a cloud account, you
will be asked if you would like to
copy your old data to your new cloud
account.
