Set up an account for IonReporterUploader plugin

Before you can transfer files to Ion Reporter™ Software with the IonReporterUploader plugin, you must configure a valid Ion Reporter™ Software account. Torrent Suite™ Software uses the account information to transfer output files to an Ion Reporter™ Software organization.

You can add more than one account for the IonReporterUploader plugin. When you add multiple accounts, any available account can be selected when you run the plugin, or when you manually upload output files to Ion Reporter™ Software. You can upload the Torrent Suite™ Software output files to any of the Ion Reporter™ Software accounts that are available in Torrent Suite™ Software.

IMPORTANT! When you upgrade to a new version of Ion Reporter™ Software, you must reconfigure the IonReporterUploader plugin with a Ion Reporter™ Software account that is set up for the new version of Ion Reporter™ Software. This account must be set up before you can access the IonReporterUploader plugin from the updated software.

When an account is set up, two email notifications are sent each time that a IonReporterUploader plugin finishes a run. The first email is sent when the plugin run starts. Another email is sent when the upload to Ion Reporter™ Software is finished. The notifications are sent to the email address of the Ion Reporter™ Software user who is signed in when the IonReporterUploader plugin is launched.
