These versions are exactly the same, save for a set of additional toolbar options in the free version. For more information about these options, see Desktop version toolbar options.

  2. Enter your company domain in the field. This is the portion of your company’s Domo URL that comes before . domo.com. For example, if the URL of your company’s Domo instance was myURL.domo.com, you would enter myURL.
    Tip: If at any time you want to return to this screen to add a new domain, you may do so by selecting Team > Add Team.
  3. Click Continue. One of two things now happens:
    • If you are already signed into the Domo instance you specified in step 2, a dialog appears asking if you want to sign in using your current credentials, as shown here:
