Sharing design 3D

Design 3D sharing scope

Private: The default sharing scope is private. Only the author and the administrator who has resource management rights are allowed to view/edit/delete the design 3D, view/edit the details of the design 3D and change the sharing settings.

Public Search: All users (including anonymous users) can search and view resource details, but cannot view the resource. The shared user needs to apply for resource authorization for view permission.

When sharing public search permission, you can also share the view permission with designated departments/groups/users.

Public View: All users (including anonymous users) can view resource details. When sharing public view permission, you can also share the edit permission with designated departments/groups/users.

Public Edit: Allows all users (logged-in users only) to edit.

Designated: the designated one can be a department, a group, or a user.

When choosing "Designated Search/View/Edit", the designated department/group/user can search/view/edit the shared design 3D in "Resource Center > Design 3D > Public / Shared with me / My Organization / My Group".

The designated department option requires that the administrator has enabled the organizational structure (disabled by default) and turned on sharing to department configuration in the iportal.xml configuration file (turned off by default).

The designated group option requires that you have joined at least one group (either as a group creator or a group member) and have permission to contribute resources. That means only groups to which you have permission to contribute resources will be listed. For more information about creating, joining and using groups, please see: Use group. Meanwhile, the administrator needs to turn on the Share to Group configuration in the iportal.xml configuration file (turned on by default).

The designated user option requires that the administrator turns on the Share to User configuration in the iportal.xml configuration file (turned on by default). The administrator can also configure in the iportal.xml configuration file whether to list all users when sharing to designated users. If the number of users is large, the administrator can also set the search mode to fuzzy match in the iportal.xml configuration file to improve the efficiency of the search.

Sharing steps

After logging in, click on "Resource Center" > "Design 3D" in the top navigation bar to access the design 3D Resources page, and then click "My design 3D" in the secondary navigation bar to access the my design 3D page.

In list view mode, click on the icon

in the action bar of the specific design 3D resource. In grid view mode, click on "..." in the bottom right corner of the card and select "Share" to enter the sharing settings page.

If the resource is private now, click on the "Sharing" button and select the sharing scope "Public View", "Public Edit" or "Designated".

If the resource is shared now, you can change the sharing scope directly; or click the "Share" switch to turn off the sharing status of the resource. Click the "Save" button to take effect.

If you set the sharing scope to "Public Search", click the "Save" button directly to take effect. You can also assign the view permission with designated objects when sharing the public search.

When setting "Public View", you can also specify departments/groups/users to edit the design 3D by clicking "Add department / Add group / Add user".
