Create a Google Account
===========================

You need to use a Google Account to login to the Agiledata App and to be able to consume data.

If you don't currently have a Google Account to use with AgileData, it is a simple process to create one.

If you currently have an email address for your organisation then we suggest you link a Google Account to your current email address, by following the instructions below.


Link your current email address to a new Google Account
================================================================

You can create a Google Account and link it to you current email.

This will enable you to login to AgileData using your current email address.

Go to the Google Account Sign In page. (https://accounts.google.com/signin)


* Click Create account
* Select For Myself
* Enter your name
* Click Use my current email address instead.
* Enter your current  email address.
* Enter a new Password
* Click Next.
* Verify your email address with the code sent to your existing email address.
* Click Verify.



Create a separate Google email address
