Creating Teams

September 1st, 2007

Creating and Using Teams

In cases where you find yourself sharing files or images with the same group of users over and over again, you may find it more efficient to create a Team. A Team is a collection or group of users. A Team may contain as few as one, or multiple users. Once the Team is created, you may then select the Team in a single mouse click as opposed to selecting users one by one.

How to Create a Team and share files…

Begin by selecting User page. Once there, click ‘Add New Team’ located in the lower right hand corner of the page.

In the popup window you will be able to name the team, add users, and then save. The Team is now active. Next we will walk through sharing data with the Team.

Step 1

Go to the Access Control page and select the desired team.

Step 2

Upon clicking the Manage Access button, you will see the Files page. Once there, select the file or group of files you wish to share. Then, click the Add Access button (not shown here) at the bottom or side of the page.

Step 3

Click the Add Access button shown in Step 2 will take you to the Confirmation page. Once there you will have an opportunity to review and confirm your selections. You may also select how you wish to handle the email notifications. By default, all user or Team Members are automatically notified by email. Once you are comfortable with your selections, click Confirm and Add Access as the final step in the file sharing process.

The Team and file selection process are now complete. That’s it! You’re done. Easy, wasn’t it!

PerfectShare Message System

September 1st, 2007

Messaging and Comments

Ever since our first release PerfectShare has had a built in viewer in the File Manager. The viewer contained a mini-message system which was intended to allow people to exchange comments and ideas. After 3 years of a constant presence in our product, we noticed that people used the mini-messenger infrequently. Yet, at the same time, web based messaging systems were enjoying substantial growth.The bottom line being that either the current messaging system was too difficult to use or, not full featured enough for the needs of our customers.

So.. we set off to develop a messaging system comprised of the ‘best in class’ for every feature we offered. Here is the result.

• Unlimited text length message area
• Commenting by any number of users
• Ability to group message into Folders
• Assign authorized users to messages
• Automatic email notifications
• Images show as thumbnails
• Thumbnails can also be seen full size

Common sense, easy to use features that make exchanging files, images, and comments a breeze. Attach images and they appear as small thumbnails. Click on a thumbnail and it will expand to full size for reviewing. Right to download. You can also maximize multiple files at a time for comparison. When messages or responses are created, the contents are automatically emailed as well as recorded in the thread.

Organize your messages into folders and sub folders. Share messages with users or groups of users (teams).

The feature list goes on and on. Sign up to try it for yourself.
