When you signed up, you would have been asked for a cloud address or company code. This is used for accessing your imanage account. Most people will set it to their company name, so to access your imanage account on your PC you would go to http://companycodehere.i- manage.co.uk, replacing the companycodehere text with your company code. You ll also use the company code to login to your account on your ios device. Once you got to your Cloud Address on your mac or PC, just login with your username and password provided in the welcome email and then we recommend changing your password to something more memorable. Login and make sure you ve checked through all system settings, you ll want to make sure all your system settings and company details are correct.

To customise layouts, first go to Settings > Customisation and click the get default link next to the layout you d like to customise. This will then open up the layout in a new window, right click and save the layout to your Mac or PC. Next we recommend using Adobe Photoshop to apply your customisation. Open up the downloaded layout in Photoshop, and add your customisation. Once done, click File then Save for Web, and using the presets option on the right try selecting PNG-8 and check the quality. The aim here is to keep the file size as low as possible to keep imanage as quick as possible when it comes to generating your PDFs. Under 150kb should be an acceptable file size. Select PNG-8 and check the file size at the bottom left of the window. Once saved go back to the Web Portal and click the Choose File button and upload the updated layout.
