Create your account
Lesson 5 of 15 4 min read
Register for Supply Lens with an email address or a single sign-on provider, confirm your email and set up your profile.
Your account is you: the login you use to reach Supply Lens. Your Organisation, which you will create in the next lesson, is your company's workspace. Keeping the two separate means one person can belong to several Organisations (a group company, say, or a partner who supports several clients) with a single login.
In this lesson you will register, confirm your email address and check your profile.
Register
- Go to app.supplylens.co.uk.
- Click Sign in, then Register now.
- Sign up with an email address and password, or connect with a single sign-on (SSO) provider. SSO means you sign in with an account you already have elsewhere, so there is no separate password to remember. This is a good moment to read the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
- Click Register.
- Open the welcome email from Supply Lens and click the link to confirm your account. The email also includes some tips to help you get started.
Use a named account
Register with your own work email address rather than a shared mailbox such as
orders@. Supply Lens shows who made changes and who is viewing a record, and invitations
and notifications are tied to a person. Shared logins make that history much less useful.
Been invited already?
If a colleague has invited you to their Organisation, you still register in exactly the same way. You will then see the invitation waiting for you on the Home screen. The lesson Invite your team covers this.
Check your profile
Once you are signed in, click your profile picture in the top-right of the screen. From here you can manage your account settings: your name, email address, password and sign-in methods.
Your picture in the title bar shows your Gravatar (a profile picture linked to your email address on gravatar.com) or your initials if you do not have one. Colleagues see the same picture when you are viewing the same record as them, so it is worth setting your name properly.
Priya registers
Priya registers with priya@hilltopcoffee.example and a password, confirms her email from
the welcome message, and sets her display name to "Priya Shah". When she later invites her
colleague Tom, he will see exactly who invited him.
If something goes wrong
If you have trouble registering, for example the confirmation email does not arrive, check your spam folder first, then contact the Support Team.
Recap
- Your account is your personal login; your Organisation is your company's workspace.
- Register at app.supplylens.co.uk with email and password or an SSO provider, then confirm via the welcome email.
- Use your own named email address, not a shared mailbox.
- Click your profile picture to manage your name, email, password and sign-in methods.
