The Login Editor is shown below. Login is optional for Graph IDE, but is required for the "Cloud Enabled" version of Graph IDE.

Cloud Login

Remember Login : Select to remember the login for the next time Graph IDE is used. This is not available for the web edition of Graph IDE for security purposes and instead the login parameters are determined by the browser password management facilities.

Note: To forget the login first clear the user name and password fields and then uncheck the Remember Login button. The next time Graph IDE is launched it will not attempt login.

Cloud Documents : Select to proceed to the table of available cloud documents and controls for cloud documents. See Account. A shortcut to cloud documents is also provided on the Status Bar shortcut drop down.

Launch Web Browser With Graph IDE Login

Web Login Button : Select this button to login to Graph IDE via your web browser at https://www.vvidget.com/login. With a web login you can access and modify your cloud-stored documents but there is no ability to use local processing or the file system on your device.

Standalone Edition

Buy Non-Cloud Edition : Select this button to be directed to the purchase instructions for the non-cloud version of Graph IDE.

Diagnostics

Test : Select this button to test the Internet connection to the VVI Cloud service. If the test fails then the most likely cause is that your Internet connection is down. The test checks your internet connection and also tests for a valid response from the VVI Cloud server.
