It is a multi-step process and we have broken these down for you below. ### Adding your practice to the Abtrace agreement First, we need to ask EMIS to add your practice to the Abtrace data sharing agreement. We do this through what is called the `Data Center Extract Configuration` file. We will be doing this on our end and will let you know when to activate it on your end.   ### Step 1: Enabling EMAS To enable EMAS, head over to `System Tools` then `EMAS Manager` ![activate-emas](https://help.abtrace.co/hs-fs/hubfs/activate-emas.jpg?width=245&height=237&name=activate-emas.jpg) ### Step 2: Activating the agreement in EMAS Once your practice has been added to the Abtrace agreement, you will be notified by email, asking you to enable EMAS Manager. This will enable data sharing between your practice and Abtrace. #### How to activate the agreement To do this, you need to activate Abtrace Proactive Monitoring in the `Agreements` section of the EMAS data sharing manager. Follow the steps below (or have a look at the [EMIS NOW](https://t.sidekickopen04.com/s3t/c/5/f18dQhb0S7kF8bq5bSV-C1fV59hl3kW7_k2841CX6NGW35Qwvd2Q2kTnVv666_7GLtdpf197v5Y04?te=W3R5hFj4cm2zwW4mKLS-3K6KSfW41Wvxg3Fbt5SW3Fd70G3SZ4KBW3C5d-Y4fJdZYW3K0XkV3KbNJXW4rF6V73GP5PDW3BNJlh1-ZdbTW1V2XMC3GHJQRW1Nt9Bf1-_nTnW1Xmmqv25fGv4W3z7ZTy2fb171W3X-qTw3ZVc6B21V3&si=8000000018252410&pi=bb9b45a3503cc7806eda6bce7ad12762) guide). 1\.

On the ribbon, click `Activate Agreement`. The agreement is activated for your          organisation. ### ![](https://help.abtrace.co/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-10-2026-02-37-39-1603-PM.png?width=645&height=345&name=image-png-Jul-10-2026-02-37-39-1603-PM.png) You can't view information from other organisations until they also activate the required agreement. #### Video EMIS Now has a good video of the process above.
