The next important information to know is how to log into Blackbaud Hosting Services, depending on your location geographically and the datacenter you access. Once you have successfully logged in it's helpful to make sure you know how to add or remove hosting users. Each user will have a unique username and password to log in to their hosting accounts. There may also be times where you will need to reset a user's password should they not remember or their password expires. To reduce the need for multiple usernames and passwords Blackbaud Hosting Services also allows you to set-up Windows Authentication, which automatically logs you into your application using your Hosting user name and password.
To ensure that you and your users gain quick access, have your users configure their web browsers to avoid blocking the application from starting and that the application will open using the correct file extension.
Now that you are using your product application, there are a few additional resources that will help to maintain a smooth experience. Blackbaud Hosting Services provides you the ability to export outside of the hosting environment and put your data on your desktop. Setting up your files folder also, allows you to have a shared location where you can store exported data within the Hosting environment.
