<Note>
  The account name must be unique. If the name already exists in the system, the account will not be created.

After the account is created, the Dashboard for the new account opens automatically.

## Log in to a specific account

To log in directly to one of several linked accounts:

2\. If multiple accounts are linked to the login, a selection page appears for selecting the account to use.

3\. Click the required account to log in.
