Instructions for first log-in to new system
These instructions are for existing DPM users that are logging in to the new website for the first time. For brand new users, please consult the instructions on registering as a new user.
Registering in the new system:
- Navigate to https://dpm.cac.cornell.edu. You can bookmark this link as it will be where you regularly log in.
- Below the log in screen, click the "Register as a new user" link.
- Using the email associated with your account in the old DPM system, create a password and hit “Register”. Passwords must be at least 6 characters long, include one upper case, one lowercase, one number, and one non-alphanumeric character.
- If you are not sure which email is associated with your account, please contact us at dairyprofit@cornell.edu.
- Using the log in email associated with your old DPM account will allow you automatic access to your farm's data in the new system.
- If you do not have access to this email address, go ahead and create an account with your current email address. Do not create a new farm because we still want to link your new account with your previous data records. After you create your account, please email dairyprofit@cornell.edu and request an access code. See below for instructions on how to redeem it and access your data.
- After you have registered your account with this email, you will be able to change it to a different email if you prefer.
- Once you hit register, you will be taken to a screen asking you to confirm your email. Open the email and click the link to confirm your email. This will open the Dairy Profit Monitor in a new browser tab. Here you can log in using the email and password that you set in the previous step. If you forget your password, you can use the "Forgot your password?" link at the bottom.
Setting up your user profile and linking to your farm:
- The first time you log in, it will automatically take you to a form to update your contact information. If you had information in the old system, you may skip this step. At any time, you have the option to update this information from the "Your Contact Info" tab.
- If you only have one farm attached to your user account (this will be the case for the majority of users), you will be automatically routed to the Data Calendar. If you have more than one farm, this screen will not be available until you select “Set Farm” from the left menu bar and choose which farm you would like to work with. Please see the documentation regarding data entry and reports if you have any questions.
Troubleshooting:
- What if I don't know what email address was associated with my account in the old system? What if I don't have access to the email account from the old system?
- No problem! Contact us at dairyprofit@cornell.edu and we will look up your email address or walk you through connecting a new address to your farm account. This account is monitored 8am to 3pm Monday through Friday.
- I was a user in the old version of DPM, but when I log in to the new system, my farm and data aren't showing up. How do I fix this?
- If this is your first time creating an account, you may need to log out and log back in to fix this. Logging out and back in gives our system the chance to connect you with your farm data.
- Check to see if you used the same email address to create your account as you used in the old system. Contact us at dairyprofit@cornell.edu if you're not sure. This account is monitored 8am to 3pm Monday through Friday.
- If you still can't get connected, please contact dairyprofit@cornell.edu. We can send you a code that you will use to connect your user account with your farm in the system. When you log in to the system, click "Join Farm" from the left menu. In the box, you will enter the code sent to you. You will then be able to view previous data, run reports, and enter new data for your farm.
