Objectives

The new learning objectives of this exercise are to familiarize the user with creating a new Syndeia Cloud project from the Syndeia Desktop App.

Preparation

This exercise assumes the student has

• Syndeia installed as a stand-alone Desktop App with a valid license for use, and

• Syndeia Cloud installed on an accessible server (see Syndeia Cloud installation instructions) and user has a valid account. The user will need to contact the Syndeia Cloud administrator for their organization to get access credentials.

The specific instructions call for creating a new Project on Syndeia Cloud, so no additional interface beyond the Syndeia base module is required.
The Syndeia Desktop App stores inter-model connections only in a Syndeia Cloud project. If you need to transfer connections from an earlier version to Syndeia Cloud, contact Intercax helpdesk for assistance.
