Switch Your Account or Projects (Tutorial)
Last updated 2026-05-27At a Glance
Your current account and projects determine which data, tools, and research initiatives you can see and work with in HISE. Now you can make account or workspace selections from the Favorited HISE Accounts list in the main drop-down menu. Use this account quick-switch list to choose the right account for data, billing info, and analyses without interrupting your workflow. Project selection has also been simplified and can be done quickly from a link on the Switch HISE Account page. See the tabbed steps below for instructions, or contact Support for help.
When to Use This Feature
If you're not in the right account or your selected projects don't include the datasets you need, you might not receive the results you expect in Advanced Search. Follow the steps in this tutorial to make sure your selections are the ones you want—and change them quickly if you they're not. Use this feature when you need to change the account or projects that determine what you can see and do in HISE:
You belong to more than one HISE account and need to work with data or tools in a different account.
You need to change which projects you’re working in so you can find the right data in Advanced Search, run AI/ML jobs, or open the correct IDE instances.
You signed in and HISE selected a default account for you, but you want to switch to another account and choose different projects.
Instructions
Quick-switch your account
View your Favorited HISE Accounts quick-switch list in the drop-down menu just below your email address in HISE. Here's an example in which the user has marked two favorites. One account favorite, Sample Account, is marked as the current account ( ).
One other favorite account, Sample Account 3, appears in the Favorited HISE Accounts list in this example. To switch to it, click the account name in the list. That HISE account context, including files and billing information, becomes available to you immediately.
NOTE: To learn how to populate the Favorited HISE Accounts list, see the second tab in this tutorial. You must also choose the right projects within the selected account. To review them, click View All Accounts > Select Projects. For more instructions, see the third tab on this page.
Use the Switch HISE Account page to mark favorites and view details
Your Favorited HISE Accounts quick-switch list is initially unpopulated. To populate it, click View all accounts beneath your email address to open the Switch HISE Account page.
On the Switch HISE Account page, click the Accounts tab.
Click the star next to an account name to mark that account as a favorite and move it to the Favorited HISE Accounts list.
In this example, you can see that the two accounts marked as favorites are the same ones that appear on the quick-switch accounts list in the main menu.
In the top pane, view your current account.
In the Available Accounts pane, view the other accounts you have access to. Click SWITCH to move to a given account.
On the Workspaces tab, you can mark favorite workspaces and see workspace details the same way. Favorited workspaces are also added to your Favorited HISE Accounts list.
Switch projects
To select available projects for a given account, choose that account as your current project. Then, from the Switch HISE Account page, click Select Projects.
On the Available Projects page, select the checkbox next to each project whose data you want to include (for example, in Advanced Search results). To select or deselect all projects, use the checkbox to the left of the Project field. No confirmation is needed—your selections are saved automatically.
