Discover 1.3

Enhancements

The following enhancements have been added in version 1.3:

Log In Splash Screen and Updated Registration Dialog

You will see a new splash screen when you open Discover. This screen directs you to either log in to their existing account or register for a new account.

Additionally, the registration page has been updated with a new dialog. This allows you to quickly and easily register for a free Discover account.

See Logging In and Logging Out and Registering for an Account.

New Cart Registration Dialog

New users (created after the release of version 1.3) will see a second registration dialog when they attempt to add areas to their cart. This dialog collects additional information necessary to fully register your Discover user account, such as your address and acceptance of the terms and conditions. You must submit this form before they can add areas to their cart and place an order.

You will only see this dialog once. After the form has been completed, you will see the standard submission form when adding areas to your cart.

See Ordering Imagery.
