Sign up for FOND

Anyone can create a free FOND account. With a free account you can view projects that other FOND users share with you. To create your own plans, designs or Collaboration projects, you also need to belong to a workspace that has a FOND subscription.

This article walks you through signing up, joining or creating a workspace, and getting access to the FOND products your team needs.

Before you start

• You’ll need access to the email address you sign up with, so you can verify your account.
• If a colleague has already set up FOND for your organization, ask them to invite you to their workspace before you sign up. Joining their workspace is quicker than creating your own.

Step 1: Create your account

Go to fond.biarrinetworks.com/signup and complete the form with your details and a password.

Step 2: Verify your email address

FOND sends a verification email to the address you signed up with. Click the link in that email to activate your account. If it hasn’t arrived after a few minutes, check your spam folder.

Step 3: Join or create a workspace

A workspace is where your team works together. It’s usually owned by your organization, and it holds your shared projects, reports and subscription. You can belong to more than one workspace and switch between them at any time.

• If you’ve been invited, accept the invitation to join that workspace.
• If you haven’t been invited, create a new workspace for your organization. You can invite teammates to it afterwards.

Step 4: Choose a subscription

Workspace administrators can start a trial or buy a subscription in two places: by following the prompts on the FOND home page, or from Settings › Subscription. Your workspace’s subscription determines which FOND products and features its members can use.

When you buy your first subscription, you’ll be asked a few business verification questions. FOND subscriptions are currently available to businesses only, not to students or individuals.

For details on subscription options, billing periods and payments, see FOND subscriptions.

Step 5: Give your team access

To create or edit content, a person needs a platform seat, and workspace administrators decide who gets one. Members without a seat can still view projects shared with them, comment on them and export them, but they can’t create new content.

As an administrator, you can invite teammates, assign platform seats and set each person’s role. See Administrator permissions and Workspace roles and permissions.
