What to Do If the “Select Repository” Option Is Missing

If the Select Repository option is missing under the Team menu, it means your current Visual Paradigm Desktop workspace is already linked to a repository. If that repository is VP Online, your VP Online account is already associated with your existing Visual Paradigm Desktop license.

To retrieve your VP Online login information:

1. Go to Team > Utilities > Open Teamwork Client.
2. Click Session > Logout.
3. Then click Session > Login.
4. If you’re using VP Online as your repository, your Workspace ID will be displayed.
5. Click Next to view your VP Online login ID.

You can use this login ID to sign in to Visual Paradigm Online.

If VP Online Workspace ID Is Not Displayed

If step 4 does not show your VP Online Workspace ID, it means you’re not currently using VP Online as your repository. In that case:

1. Go to Help > Switch Workspace.
2. Create a new local workspace folder and allow the application to restart.
3. After restarting, follow the steps in the “If you don’t have a VP Online account yet” section to sign up and link your account.

If you didn’t have VP Online account yet

If you don’t have a Visual Paradigm Online account yet, follow these steps to create one and link it to your Desktop license:

1. Download and install Visual Paradigm Desktop at https://www.visual-paradigm.com/download/.
2. Launch your Visual Paradigm Desktop application.
3. Navigate to Team > Select Repository.
4. Choose Sign up for VP Online.
5. Enter your email address, set a password, and specify your desired Workspace ID.
6. Click the Sign Up button to proceed.
