Share project-specific files in ProjectWeb from a new folder
If there are no pre-existing folders or files associated with a project, you can follow these steps:
Your projects ➜ Select project ➜ Click on Files ➜ Click on Create Folder
Here you can customize settings for three functions for your folder:
- Basic Data
- Internal Access
- External Access
Master Data: General settings for the folder
Select Master Data ➜ Enter folder name ➜ Adjust settings
Here you can change the following settings:
- Folder name: Give your folder a relevant name
- Active: Here you can activate or deactivate the folder
- Visible on app: Choose whether the folder should be available on the app
Internal Access: Internal disciplines and user groups
Click on Internal Access ➜ Select professions ➜ Select user groups
Here you can change the following settings:
- Select professions: Choose which professions should have access to the folder
- Select user groups: Choose which user groups should have access to the folder
External Access: External organizations and subcontractors
Click on External access ➜ Limit the access to folders ➜ Adjust External permissions ➜ Adjust Invitation emails
Here you can change the following settings:
- Hide from externals: Deny all external organizations access to the folder
- Share with all externals: Share your folder with all external organizations associated with the project
- Share only with selected professions: Share the folder only with the selected disciplines
- Allow externals to upload files to this folder and its subfolders in ProjectWeb: Permit external organizations to upload files to the folder from ProjectWeb
- Send invitation mail to new externals: Ensure new external organizations receive access to the folder
Finish by clicking Save. The folder is now created, and your external organizations and subcontractors can access the folder from ProjectWeb.
Share project-specific files in ProjectWeb from an existing folder
If you have already created folders and uploaded files to them, you can do the following to share them with external organizations and subcontractors:
Select Project ➜ Click on Files ➜ Click on the three dots to the right of the desired folder ➜ Click on Edit
By clicking on the pencil icon for the desired folder, you can change the folder settings just as you would when creating a new folder.
After editing, your external organizations and subcontractors will have access to the shared files in ProjectWeb.
Share global files in ProjectWeb
Select Account ➜ Click on Global files
From here, external access to the folders can be customized in the same way as described earlier in this guide for project-specific file folders.
