In later work sessions you can access this dialog and button by selecting the 'New > Manage projects' option on the Start Page. However, there is also a Cloud Connection link on the 'Start Page' itself.

Type the name to use to refer to this model. It does not have to match any values on the server, and will appear in your recent models list. |

Protocol |
Click on the drop-down arrow and select a secure (https) or insecure (http) connection, as supported by the server you are connecting to. When you select the protocol, the port will be automatically set to match the default for that protocol. |

Type in the machine name (sparxcloud.com) or IP address (192.168.0.20) of your server. |

Type in the name of the model available on the server. Note: Generally a system administrator will provide you with a list of available models.
