Creating the initial admin user

YoYotta will send a signup link, for security this first link will only work with the matching email.
Contact YoYotta Support if you need to change the email.
Enter the signup email and a new password.

After login you can create additional Admin + Staff users using other email addresses.

Login to the server

Creating a staff account

Admin users can access all projects, so it's best to create a staff account. Staff accounts have controlled access to collections of projects.
Setup staff logins for each staff member. Then they can login to the Server from the YoYotta Mac app to sync project metadata.
Select Admin in the sidebar, go to Users and click the + button.

Add a user

• Staff Read + write access to selected Collections of projects

• Admin Admin users can create new Collections and access all projects.

Invite created

Copy the invite link and send it to the member of staff

User login created

When they use the invite they will become an Active user.

Creating a collection

Projects are grouped together in collections. Collections might be named after clients or types of work. There must be at least one Collection.
Go to Library in the sidebar and select Collections.
Then click the + button. Admin users can create and delete projects in this collection, this can be set to All Staff or Named Users.
By default All Staff can read and write projects this can also be limited to named staff.

Now create a new project

Select a collection and click the + button. Enter a project name.
Also set the project frame rate. This allows YoYotta to flag clips that are off-speed, this can be changed later
