Once you have installed aSync, you can log in, edit your files from Asite, and publish revisions as and when needed. Below are the steps describing how you can log in to aSync:

Open the aSync application and a login screen will appear. Choose the relevant cloud - Asite Cloud / Asite US Gov. Cloud (Hosted in AWS GovCloud (US) / Asite UAE Cloud / Asite KSA Cloud / Asite Canada Cloud / Asite Hong Kong Cloud, and enter your login details i.e. your registered email address and your Asite account password.

Email - Enter the email address registered with Asite.

Password - Enter your Asite password.

Select the 'Remember Me' box to avoid entering login credentials the next time you open aSync application on your computer.

If you're not registered on Asite, you can click here for detailed help (on creating a new Asite account).

If your account requires or is configured to use Single Sign-On, click the 'Use Single Sign-On (SSO)' option at the bottom of the login screen.

This will open the Single Sign-On screen as shown below:
​

To log in using Single Sign-On, choose the relevant cloud - Asite Cloud / Asite US Gov. Cloud (Hosted in AWS GovCloud (US) / Asite UAE Cloud / Asite KSA Cloud / Asite Canada Cloud / Asite Hong Kong Cloud - as applicable, then enter your registered email address for login.
​

Single sign-on via aSync outside the organization network can be enabled by contacting the Asite Professional and Infrastructure teams.

You can switch to the Cloud Login option by clicking the 'Use Cloud Login' link from the Single Sign-On screen.

After entering the required details, click the 'Login' button. If the password entered is incorrect or if you're unable to log in, follow the instructions on your screen. Once logged in, the welcome screen will appear.

If you right-click on a file from the Asite web application and use the 'Edit File' option, the aSync application window will reappear.

Your profile picture will appear at the top right. Below are the options available when you click on the profile picture:

Click on 'Preferences' to set your project folder synchronization preferences in aSync, for folders on which synchronization is enabled. It will populate sync preferences as follows:

You can select any one of the radio button options. By default, the 'Automatic Sync records' option is kept enabled for all users.

Clicking on the 'Enable 2-way Sync' option will display a list of projects selected in your project filter on the Asite web application.

Click on the arrow icon pointing to the right side corresponding to the project name to expand and view folders available under that project.

Similarly, if subfolders are available under a folder at any level, you can expand them by clicking on the corresponding arrow icon pointing to the right side as applicable.

To enable synchronization, select the checkbox corresponding to the folder name. A black star icon will appear against the folders you've marked as a favorite so you can easily identify them.

Once done, click 'Update' to save the applied changes.

The folders enabled for synchronizing will appear separately in your local device storage with the same folder structure at the path below:

'C' drive / Users / <user_name> / aSync / <project_name>

Once synchronization is enabled, the files in the selected folder are ready to be synchronized from your local device storage to Asite Cloud i.e. Any changes in the working folder on your local device storage can be updated in the Asite web application based on your aSync preferences.
​

Click the 'Exit' option to exit the aSync application window. To minimize the aSync application, click the '-' icon next to the profile picture.

Click on 'Logout' to log out of your Asite account from the aSync application.

Even if the aSync window gets closed, it will continue running in the background. In such a scenario, you can open its window from the system tray by clicking the aSync application icon.

If an update is available for your aSync app, you will be prompted to upgrade to the latest version as applicable.

Click the 'Update' option to upgrade to the latest aSync version. Otherwise, click 'Later' in case you plan to update later.
