The Publish to cloud... dialog is a convenient way to upload models to the ACP server, so that you can invite others to view and run it from web browsers. You can also change some of your account settings from the dialog that pops up when this option is selected. To open this dialog, select Publish to cloud... from the File menu.

If you have configured the Publish to cloud... dialog, and you have set it to remember your password, the dialog will open to the Publish Model Tab with your most recent settings. Otherwise it will open to the Configure Account tab.

Configure account tab

Sign up link

If you do not already have an ACP individual account, click the sign up link: Your browser will open to the ACP sign in page (Chrome is the only browser currently recommended for ACP). You can sign up for an ACP account there (use the same email address as for your Lumina license) then return to Analytica to enter your account information.

Email address field: If you have previously configured the Publish to cloud... dialog your Email Address should be prefilled. Otherwise enter your ACP account email address.
