Share and Unshare Views

Share a View

Views can be shared with individual project members or groups of users.

A user's ability to see a View is dependent on their access to the parent folder where the file is located in Trimble Connect. For example, if the recipient has no access to the parent folder, then that user will not be able to open the View.
