Step III: Configure participants

Before configuring participants make sure you have invited your team members to this space. Learn more about how to invite team space members and guests.

  • Configure who will interact with the applet’s content (add and view entries) by choosing the “Participants” tab and then clicking the “Cog” button near the “Participants” title.
  • Set the applet participants configuration as “Team-wide” if you want all team members to view each other’s entries.
  • Alternatively, you can allow access to all entries to certain participants. In this case, turn the “Team-wide” mode OFF and restrict viewing by unchecking the “View” properties for other participants. Team members with the “View” checkbox unchecked will only be able to view their own entries.
  • You can add, remove, and assign new team members at any time.

Team-wide applets

By default, applets have the “Team-Wide” property checked.

  • Such applets are visible to all participants in your team space.
  • All team space members can add new entries and view all entries added by other members.
  • Team space guests can’t add any entries but can view all contents of team-wide applets.

Invite-only applets

To decrease noise, improve processes, ensure confidentiality of certain data, or more granularly configure reminders, you can make some or all applets invite-only.

  1. Click the “Participants” tab to open it.
  2. Click the “On/Off” toggle near the ‘Team-Wide’ label.
  3. Click the “Cog” button near the ‘Participants’ label.
  4. Add/remove participants and configure the permissions for each participant.
