Getting Started

Signing into Lab Atlas for the first time and preparing your environment for users

Signing-up and creating your organization

If you do not already have a Lab Atlas account, you will first need to signup to create an organization. Go to https://app.labatlas.com/signup and complete the signup form.

The signup dialog

Note: it is possible to use the same email and account for multiple organizations, but a separate subscription is required for each organization in non-enterprise licenses.

After clicking 'Continue', you will be prompted for a verification code. Check your email inbox for a message containing this code, provide it to continue.

Once you have created your account and signed-in successfully, a new organization will be created for you automatically. This organization will be enrolled in the free Starter Plan and have a limited feature set, but you can upgrade to the full-features Professional Plan at any time. Refer to the Choosing the Right Plan section for more information.

You can sign-out of the application or view your profile by clicking on your name in the top-right corner of any page and selecting the appropriate item from the dropdown menu.

Working in your new organization

The first time you log into Lab Atlas after signing-up, you will be taken to your organization home page, where you will be presented with a brief introduction to the application and some recommended steps for getting your environment ready for you and your colleagues. Here are the recommended actions you should take before getting to work:

• Invite new users & assign them to teams

• Connect your electronic laboratory notebook (eg. Benchling)

• Connect cloud storage services (eg. Microsoft SharePoint or Amazon S3)

• Connect source code management systems (eg. GitLab)

• Create Projects and assign users to them

Most of these tasks can be performed in the Admin Dashboard, which can be reached by clicking on the icon in the menu bar of the application.

Switching between organizations

If you are a member of more than one organization, you can switch to a different one by clicking the 'My Organizations' button in the menu bar.

On the new screen, you can select another organization to switch-to or create a brand new organization. If you are a member of organizations in multiple domains (eg. Lab Atlas Enterprise domains), you can click the option 'Show External Organizations' to get a list of member organizations accross all tenants.
