What is Core?
Core is the central online database with our item data and cover images
In other words, Core is the source of the automatic data and images you get when using the Add Automatically feature in any of our cataloging solutions.
The desktop versions have various Report to Core features for letting us know about missing entries and for reporting and submitting data errors.
What is the CLZ Cloud?
The CLZ Cloud is the cloud storage and syncing system for your collection data
The CLZ Cloud is available for FREE for everyone. To start using it, just login to your account at my.clz.com and click the green “Activate” button.
The CLZ Cloud can be used for:
- Syncing your data between devices
E.g. to get your collection data from the desktop to your mobile app. - *Backing up your collection data online *
Just sync up once in while and you’ll always have a backup in case of local database problems. - *Publishing your collection list online (optional) *
Your cloud data can optionally be made visible on the cloud.collectorz.com site for online browsing. Browse our demo online movie collection here.
(You can control your “Cloud visibility” from your account at my.clz.com.
*6-month “keep-alive” policy: *
Usage of the CLZ Cloud is free and for as long as you want. That is, if you actually use it. For performance reasons, we’re using a 6-month “keep-alive” policy. Which basically means that if you sync or login at least once every 6 months, we will keep your data online. After 6 months of inactivity, your data will be removed.
