To complete the exercises, access your Xurrent instance at 4me-demo.com

If you do not yet have access to a Xurrent instance, you can request one by going to the Xurrent website.

Once you have accessed your instance, you will need to select one of the Widget Xurrent accounts (the Widget International directory account or the Widget Europe – IT support domain account).

Howard Tanner holds the Administrator role in both the Widget International directory account and the Widget Europe – IT support domain account. It is possible to transition to an alternate account using the account switcher or by logging out as Howard Tanner. In the login form, you can select the ‘Choose a different account’ action, which will direct you to the catalog of accessible Xurrent accounts within your Xurrent instance. Subsequently, in this training, we will elaborate on the specific requirements for configuration in the directory account and the support domain account.

All passwords in your training instance have been set to 4me. For training purposes we use easy to remember passwords, since you will switch users with  different roles quite often during the exercises. The passwords do not reflect the strict password requirements Xurrent has for its own employees, nor the requirements your organization will set in the Xurrent system for you.

Make sure you verify the settings of your training instance when it has been used by someone else. Go to the settings console (5th icon in the top header bar). In the left pane at the bottom you will find the menu options 'Instance Options' and 'Instance Reset'. Click on  the Instance Options menu to define your email address as the 'Forwarding email address'. Click on the Instance Reset menu to reinitilize the data in your demo instance.
