To sign in

You must sign in using your Trimble ID to be able to:

  • Work with data in the cloud.
  • Use Trimble Access and any Trimble Access apps for which you have a subscription.

The Trimble Connect icon in the title bar of the Projects screen or the Jobs screen is grayed out if you are not signed in. Tap the icon to sign in.

To sign in, you must be connected to the Internet. See Internet connection setup.

To sign in

  1. To view the Sign in using Trimble ID screen, tap the icon in the Projects or Jobs screen.

    If the controller has only Trimble Access subscription apps installed and no licenses, the Sign in using Trimble ID screen appears the first time you start the software, and does not reappear on software start up unless you have previously signed out.

  2. Enter your username. Your username is the email address you used when you set up your Trimble ID.

    If you do not have a Trimble ID, tap Create new Trimble ID.

  3. Enter your password.

    To see the characters you are entering into the Password field, tap .

    If you have forgotten your password, tap Forgot password?

  4. If you are the only person who uses Trimble Access on the controller and you regularly use cloud projects or jobs, select the Stay signed in check box so that you are already signed in when you start Trimble Access.

    If you are signing in to use your Trimble Access subscription, the subscription is locked to the controller until you sign out. In that situation, the Stay signed in check box has no effect.

  5. Tap Sign in.

    The software displays the Projects screen or the Jobs screen, if you signed in from there. The colored Trimble Connect icon in the title bar indicates you are signed in.

    If you are using Trimble Access subscription apps and signed in at software startup, the software displays the About screen, showing the subscriptions you have on the controller. Tap Accept to continue to the Projects screen.

To comply with Chinese data regulations concerning the upload of Chinese geospatial data to servers outside of China, Trimble Access prevents sign in to the Trimble Connect cloud platform if your IP address is determined to be in China.

To sign out

To use Trimble Access apps for which you have a subscription, you must sign in using your Trimble ID. Subscriptions are locked to the controller until you sign out. To use your Trimble Access subscriptions on a different controller, you must sign out on the current controller.

To sign out, do one of the following:

  • Tap the Trimble Connect icon in the title bar of the Projects screen and then tap Sign out.
  • Tap and select About and then tap Sign out.
