Change Folder Access

Folder Access is dependent on the Project Role.

For those with Manager, Can Edit with Unlimited Access, and Can View with Unlimited Access roles, all folders in the project are accessible. 

For those with Limited Access, the manager must select which folders can be accessed.

To change folder access, the project manager can go to Collaboration Management and click on the dropdown for Folder Access to select folders. Then, click on Submit.

Note: Selecting the folder does not automatically select the sub-folders.

 

Change Feature Access

Feature Access is independent of Folder Access; this is a project-level setting. To change feature access, the project manager can go to Collaboration Management and click on the dropdown for each feature (Analysis, Automatic Monitoring, Memo, and Project History). Then, click on Submit.

 

Change Notification Settings

There are four types of email notification triggers: Analysis, Monitoring, Memo, and History.

Every project member can change their own notification settings. The project manager can set for all members and override individual members’ settings.
