Finish Setting Up Your Account

The first time you log in to your CZ ID account you will need to finish setting up your user profile by completing a short form. You only need to do this once. The form data will help our team gain a better understanding of who our users are and their interests. In turn, this information will help our team define future feature implementations that will better serve our users and their needs. User profile data will not be used for any purposes other than analytics and your personal information (name and email address) will not be shared. See our Privacy Policy for details. 

See images below for questions you will be asked to complete while setting up your profile. You will be prompted to state your name, country, and institution and answer three general questions. Note that all fields are required, with the exception of the last optional question. Additionally, you can sign up for the quarterly CZ ID Newsletter, which provides information regarding new features and updates. Once you complete your profile, the  "Complete Setup" button will be activated. Click "Complete Setup" to finish creating your CZ ID account. 

When you log in to your CZ ID account for the first time, you will need to complete a short form to finish setting up your user profile.

Click the Complete Setup button after you answer all the questions.

After completing your profile, you will see a "Welcome to CZ ID" message, which confirms that your account has been created and activated.

If you close out the welcome message window, you will be directed to the Discovery page. To get started analyzing data, see the Getting Started section of our Help Center for quick guides, tutorials, and information about CZ ID.
