Australian Sign-up & Use Directions

This is ONLY for Australian users that are hosting their data in AU.

Written by Ashwin Pillai

Fulcrum offers an Australia (AU) instance for organizations that need to meet Australian data residency requirements or want faster sync times by keeping their data closer to their location. All data collected on the AU instance stays in Australia. To use the AU instance, you need to sign up for a new Fulcrum account there. You can use the same email address you use for an existing Fulcrum account, but make sure you're signing in at the correct web address for the AU instance.

Prerequisites

  • A valid email address

  • The Fulcrum mobile app installed on your device, if you plan to collect data in the field

Notes

  • Your AU account is completely separate from any Fulcrum account you may have on other instances, such as US, EU, or Canada.

  • You can reuse the same email address across regional instances, but always double-check that you're signing in at the correct web address for the AU instance.
