8.1. Invite collaborators

As the owner of an abacus, you can invite colleagues to collaborate on it in a number of ways.

• Viewers can see the abacus but cannot edit it
• Contributors can add their own beads to the abacus, as well as evidence, analysis and actions
• Editors can edit other users’ beads, as well as evidence analysis and actions
  

To invite collaborators, click on the Collaborate button at the top of the screen.

Using the drop down menu next to Type of Collaborator, you can choose whether the recipient is given viewer, contributor or editor status.

The Message box contains prepopulated text that will appear in the body of the email. You can change this simply by clicking on and amending the text.

The title of the email will be Your Invitation to Collaborate.

*The email that is generated from the invite screen will have admin@iabacus.me in the ‘from’ line. Therefore you may wish to include your direct address in the email.

!The person receiving the email will need to have an iAbacus licence in order to accept the invitation and log in. If you need to allocate or purchase licences, please contact us.

When you are finished, click Send Invitation. A pop up box will appear confirming that the invitation has been sent.

You can add collaborators at any time.
