# How to open and log into IRIS

## Step-by-step on how to access your IRIS system

1. Once you have logged in to your workspace open the IRIS application. A shortcut can be found on your desktop.![Screenshot\_2021-09-20\_at\_12.49.17.png](https://support.synchtank.net/hc/article_attachments/4407216321300/Screenshot_2021-09-20_at_12.49.17.png?width=575&height=271&name=Screenshot_2021-09-20_at_12.49.17.png)
2. Input your Server link (e.g.: https://serverlink.iris.server.net/), your Username (e.g.: John.Smith3) and Password (e.g.: Pa55.word!) into the appropriate fields then click login.![Screenshot\_2021-09-20\_at\_12.49.48.png](https://support.synchtank.net/hc/article_attachments/4407216320916/Screenshot_2021-09-20_at_12.49.48.png?width=582&height=186&name=Screenshot_2021-09-20_at_12.49.48.png)
3. The following window will open as the program loads, no action is required but this may take 20-30 seconds to load as the application checks for server updates.![Screenshot\_2021-09-20\_at\_12.50.13.png](https://support.synchtank.net/hc/article_attachments/4407216319124/Screenshot_2021-09-20_at_12.50.13.png?width=584&height=150&name=Screenshot_2021-09-20_at_12.50.13.png)
