iObeya User Guide Configuring Your Room

Sharing a Board With Another Room

  1. Enter your room, then click Configure the room at the bottom right of the screen.

    The Room configuration panel displays.

  2. Click a board, then click Share this board.

  3. Click Share with an Administrator, then enter the name of a user with Room Administrator rights.

    Complete one or several fields, then click the magnifying glass to find the user.

  4. Select a user, grant read-only or read/write rights, then click Share.

    Repeat this step to add several recipients if required.

Note

A board can be shared multiple times with a user, and this shared board can be used in multiple rooms.

The owner of a source board is the only one who can share the board.

You can verify the status of the board that you have already chosen to share by entering room-editing mode, clicking the board once to open its contextual menu, and selecting Share this board. From the new screen, you are able to see if the sharing proposal has been accepted, and which room it has been added to, or whether the proposal was refused.

Receiving the Shared Board

The selected Room Administrators receive a sharing notification when they sign into iObeya.

Your board is now shared with one or more Room Administrators. If the shared board is edited, the original board is also edited. You can also receive a board, in other words, be the recipient of board sharing.
