====== Welcome to the Industrial App Store ======

===== What is the Industrial App Store? =====

The Industrial App Store is an online market place of apps and web services that connect to 
industry standard data sources.

//Getting Started...//

=====1. Register with the Industrial App Store=====

Registering is as simple as logging in.

  * Open https://appstore.intelligentplant.com and select "Log in".

The Industrial App Store supports Google and Microsoft logon. If your organization has registered with the App Store, select **Microsoft** and enter your work username ((Microsoft "User Principal Names" have the format "username@domain". In most cases, it will be the same as your work email address.)) and password.

===== 2. Request access to Apps and Data =====

By default, you will only have access to demo data sources; but if your organization has an App Store Connect installed, secured organization data sources may also be available. Contact the App Store Connect administrator to request access to company data sources. (Intelligent Plant can advise if you're not sure who to contact).

//Note that access to company data sources can only be granted after you have registered (ie. logged in for the first time) with the Industrial App Store.
//


===== 3. Open an Application =====

The home page lists the apps currently available. To find out more about a specific app, click "More info" on the App Card and explore product descriptions and online resources.

//Depending on your organizations arrangement with the Industrial App Store, app access may be restricted.//

Select "Start" from the App Card to open an application.

You'll be taken through an [[app_store_connect:authorize_apps_to_connect_to_your_data|Authorization Process]] where the app will prompt you for data access. Demo data sources are available, but your own data is more interesting. This will only be available if step 2 (above) has been completed.
