- Enter your username in the Username field. Depending on how your CoLab data portal has been set up, this may be your email address or it may be something different.
- Enter your password into the Password field.
- Click the blue "Sign in" button to log into the data portal.
- If you don't remember your password, click the "Forgot Password" button (see the "Forgot Password" help article in the left sidebar).
- Some CoLab sites include a paired community area (see the "Getting Started with the CoLab Community" help section for more detail). In such cases, you may also sign in through the community instead of directly through the data portal. Your site administrator will be able to guide you as to the proper gateway.
- If you have trouble logging in—or run into difficulties or have questions at any time—you can access the NICHQ Support site (this one) by clicking the "Help" link in the menu at the top. There, too, you can submit help desk tickets for the particular issue you've encountered.
