Getting started
This page takes you from creating your account to your first item.
Creating your account
Create an account asks for a first name, a last name, an e-mail address and a password (at least 12 characters), and your acceptance of the terms of use and the privacy policy. Receiving Cegeta's news by e-mail is optional, and can be changed at any time from My data.
An e-mail then asks you to confirm your address. Until it is confirmed, two actions stay closed, because they commit you: reporting an item lost and reporting an item stolen. The link can be sent again from the screen.
Forgot your password? The sign-in screen sends you a reset link.
Your space
When your account is created, Cegeta opens your personal space ("My space"): that is where your items live. You can also belong to a family space or a business space, if someone invites you; Switch space, in the menu, moves from one to the other. See Spaces and members.
The dashboard
Dashboard sums up your space: the tagged items, the QRs in service, what needs action and the maintenance due. The left-hand menu leads to the rest:
| Entry | What you do there |
|---|---|
| My items | create, find and manage your items — Items |
| Notifications | read what Cegeta tells you |
| Warranties, Maintenance | follow the due dates — Warranties and maintenance |
| Locations | store your items — Locations and contents |
| Shared with me | the items shared with you — Sharing an item |
| Stickers | print your QR codes — QR codes and stickers |
| Receive an item, My former items | transfers — History, resale and transfer |
| Members, Reports | working together — Spaces and members |
| My plan | what your space includes — Plans |
Searching
The search bar in the header looks through your items — name, brand, model, contents — and also understands a few phrases: "warranties expiring this year", "maintenance this month", "in my cellar", "lost", "bought in 2023". What it understood shows as filters, which you remove in one click; what it does not recognise is searched as typed.
Notifications
Notifications lists what concerns you: a QR scanned, a found report, a relay message, a warranty or a service coming up, a transfer waiting for you, a full space. Notification preferences, in your account menu, chooses what you receive type by type and channel by channel: in the app, by e-mail, as a push, or in a daily or weekly digest. Account security alerts are always sent.
Your account
Your account menu, at the top right: Profile, Password, Appearance, Notification preferences, My devices (the devices signed in to your account, which you can sign out one by one) and My data (Your data). The interface language is chosen in the header, among five: English, French, Dutch, German and Luxembourgish.
