Your inMotion Account
← Back to Getting Started

Creating an inMotion Account

To use inMotion you'll need to sign up for an account at app.inmotion.io/signup. You'll be asked for:
  • A username - this is publicly visible, so avoid using anything private.
  • Your first and last name.
  • A valid email address.
  • A secure password - at least 8 characters, including mixed case, a number, and a special character.
You'll also need to confirm you're not a robot and accept the terms and conditions - please take a moment to read the terms and conditions and privacy policy first.

Activities stored in an account can only be seen by users who've been given the appropriate access by the account owner - see Managing account access below.

Logging In

Head to app.inmotion.io/login and enter the username and password you signed up with. Once you're authenticated, you're straight into inMotion - no further steps needed.

Forgotten Your Password?

Go to app.inmotion.io/reset-password and submit the email address you signed up with. You'll receive a reset link by email, valid for 24 hours.

If you receive a reset email you didn't request, you can safely ignore it - no action is needed.

Changing Your Password

If you are already logged in and want to change your password, open the dropdown menu under your name, choose Settings, then My Details and its Sign-in tab. Click Change Password to reveal the form - you'll need to enter your current password, then your new password twice, to guard against typos.
The Change Password form

Updating Your User Details

From the dropdown menu under your name, choose Settings, then My Details.
  • Profile - display name, first name, surname, preferred units and locale, and Allow Public Invitations so others can find and request access to your account.
  • Sign-in - username, email address, multi-factor authentication, and changing your password (see Changing Your Password above).
Save or cancel your changes from the same screen.

Account Details

Every user has an account, which can hold activities and be shared with others. From the dropdown menu, choose Settings, then My Account and its Details tab, to rename the account or set which profiles apply to it (for example agriculture, aviation, boating, construction, environmental, health, mining, surveying, transportation, weather, or other) - this helps tailor the activity types available to that account. You can also request deletion of the account entirely from this screen.
The Account Details settings tab

Managing Account Access

From the dropdown menu, choose Settings, then My Account and its Members tab, to add other inMotion users to your account and control what they can do:
  • None - no access.
  • Consumer - can view data.
  • Contributor - can view and add new data.
  • Owner - can view, add, and delete data.
Use the + button to invite a new member by username, and Revoke to remove someone's access. Each account starts with a limited number of invitations, shown at the bottom of the screen - limits vary by plan.

Standard Data Types

Defining your own custom types is not available on Free (Personal) or Enterprise Minimum.

From the dropdown menu, choose Settings, then either Master Data or My Master Data and its Standard Data Types tab, to see how variables are aligned to a common definition, so data from different sources and sensors can be compared consistently. Each type defines its key, units, display behaviour, and related types.
  • Master Data - the built-in catalog, split into Data Types (e.g. air temperature, speed, load) and Data Variants. Search the list, select an entry to view its definition, and use Download to save it.
  • My Master Data - the custom data types you've defined for your account.

For the meaning of every field, or to hand-edit a definition, see the Standard Data Type schema reference.

Device Configurations

Defining your own custom configs is not available on Enterprise Minimum or Enterprise Standard.

From the dropdown menu, choose Settings, then either Master Data or My Master Data and its Device Config tab, to browse reusable device configuration definitions - these describe how a sensor or piece of machinery reports data, including which activity types it's compatible with and its configurable settings.
  • Master Data - the built-in library (e.g. area spraying, heart rate, fixed location). Select a config to view its definition, and switch between published versions with the Version dropdown.
  • My Master Data - the custom device configs you've defined for your account.
The Master Data settings tab's Device Config sub-tab, showing the built-in library of device configurations
For the meaning of every field, or to hand-edit a definition, see the Device Config schema reference.

Activity Types

Defining your own custom activity types is available only on Enterprise Unlimited.

From the dropdown menu, choose Settings, then either Master Data or My Master Data and its Activity Types tab. An activity type classifies what an activity actually is (e.g. running, tractor spraying, weather station) and which profile and standard data types apply to it.
  • Master Data - the built-in catalog. Select an entry to view its definition.
  • My Master Data - the custom activity types you've defined for your account.

Classification Models

From the dropdown menu, choose Settings, then Master Data and its Classification Models tab, to browse the built-in models used to automatically categorise or QC activity data. Select an entry to view its definition.
