Share Again
The Collaborative Design application helps you refreshing
the workspace with the most recent version of features you have shared with
other, saving you the time of remembering what you exchanged with whom. If
you want to prepare a briefcase that contains the latest version of the
same features you previously shared and sent it to the same recipients, use
the Share Again option. If you want to prepare a briefcase that
contains the exact same version of the features you previously shared and
sent it to different recipients, use the Forward Briefcase
option.
|
|
-
Open the Shared Tab in the Briefcases dialog.
-
Choose Share Again form the contextual menu. A
briefcase will be created and shown to you.
-
You can now inspect its content, and add or remove items.
-
Review recipients and post the briefcase to the
workspace.

Notes:
- The briefcase created by this command uses the items tagged as
explicit from the original briefcase as the initial selection.
- The features selected in this manner are inserted in the briefcases
whether or not they have been modified since the creation of the previous
briefcase.
- The Share Again command is available in the
Merged and Shared tabs. It is not available in the
To Merge tab because the feature in the briefcase might not exist
in the document before the merge is performed. Use Forward Briefcase
to forward to other recipients a briefcase in your To Merge
tab.

Forward Briefcase
The Forward Briefcase option allows
the user to select any briefcase displayed in the briefcases list and share
it to a new list of receivers. The content of the forwarded briefcase will
be identical to that of the original.
This functionality allows briefcases to be shared
with users not listed as an original receiver. If a user was
mistakenly left off a briefcase's receivers list, the forward option can be
used to make the correction. Also, as new users are added to a workspace
they can be forwarded briefcases that were created in the past. To forward
to a new recipient a briefcase you prepared earlier follow the steps
described below. |
|
-
Open the Shared Tab in the Briefcases dialog.
-
Choose Forward from the contextual menu. A
simplified briefcase preparation dialog will be created and shown to you.
-
You can select the new receiver and add a message to
accompany the briefcase. Note that you are not able to inspect its
content, unlike other type of briefcases.
-
Click OK to post the briefcase to the new
receiver.
