Registering an Account

To gain access to AMS, a History Factory archivist must invite you to the AMS portal. To gain access, please reach out to either your History Factory archivist team, or to your company archives manager to send the request.

Once you’ve been approved for AMS access, you should receive an email from [email protected] with the subject line “I’ve granted you access to the AMS Demo Instance Brandfolder!” In that message, there is an “Accept Invitation” button.

1. Click the “Accept Invitation” button to start the registration process. A new window will appear with a message informing that you have been invited to join Brandfolder. Click “or sign up for a Brandfolder account.”
2. On the next screen you’ll be required to put in your first name, last name, your email address, and a password for AMS. Click “Sign Up” once you’ve entered the information.
   1. Note: Do not change the Email field — this is the field that will be used for receiving communications from AMS, and which will be used as your log-in email address for AMS.
   2. The Password field will require a minimum of:
      1. 8 characters
      2. 1 uppercase letter
      3. 1 number
      4. 1 symbol
3. After clicking “Sign Up,” you should immediately see a User Acceptance Agreement pop-up. After reading through the agreement, click “Agree” to be brought to the AMS interface.

Success! You are now in AMS.

Depending on your organization’s security policies, your sign-on to AMS may be linked to your organization’s identity management platform and require what’s known as a single sign-on (SSO) process. If SSO is required in your organization, please follow the steps below. Prior to registering for an AMS account with your company’s SSO credentials, a History Factory archivist must invite you to the AMS portal. To obtain access, please reach out to either your History Factory archivist team, or to your company archives manager.
