Guided TourThe following video provides an overview of what you can do with collaborative spaces. This video is based on the user interface in an earlier release, but the concepts described are still valid. Click Play to watch the video: Public, Protected, and Private Collaborative SpacesYou can use these provided collaborative space families as templates to create your collaborative spaces:
You can create as many collaborative spaces of each type as you need. An Owner can modify existing collaborative spaces. You cannot build a hierarchy of collaborative spaces. A user can create, modify or delete content in the collaborative space that the user is currently logged into. The collaborative space owns the content and only an Administrator can transfer content to another collaborative space. Access to content in collaborative spaces can be public, protected, or private. Accessing content means the ability to search for, explore, view and open the content. The Owner can change the visibility of a collaborative space. Note:
The Platform
Administrator can configure 3DSpace to prevent an Owner from editing visibility. If so, you need the Administrator access role to edit the visibility.
Public ContentPublic content is visible to users logged onto any other collaborative space, so long as the organization owning the content is the same organization as (or a "parent" organization of) the organization for the credentials assigned to that user. Content in public or protected collaborative spaces can be either private or public depending on the current maturity state of the content. Content in private collaborative spaces is always private. This table defines whether content is public or private based on the type of collaborative space and the maturity state of the content.
Because public content from other collaborative spaces can be accessed by any user, it is possible for any user to create content structures that cross over collaborative spaces. However, content from one collaborative space can only reference public content from another collaborative space. Team members from one collaborative space can see all the external content used within the collaborative space. Structure Business Logic for Standard and Design ContentThe family selected for a collaborative space is either Standard or Design. Content created in a standard collaborative space is considered standard content, and content created in a design collaborative space is considered design content. For consistency, a standard structure can only contain standard content. You should not use design content in a standard structure, and many apps display an error if you try to do so. For more information, see the app's user assistance. Design structures do not have this restriction: you can add standard content to a design structure. Your company can customize the business logic for aggregating content. Standard ContentStandard content belongs to a standard collaborative space and is typically catalog parts. Standard content uses the same lifecycle as design content. Users in a design collaborative space can access that content. When using 3DXML to exchange content between companies, content can be standard content for one company, and design content for another. Examples of Access to Collaborative SpacesIn these examples, the current collaborative space means that the person is a member of that collaborative space and logged into that collaborative space. For users with restricted roles, their access is limited to content owned by their organization. Public collaborative spaces:
Protected collaborative spaces::
Private collaborative spaces:
A user can be assigned to several credentials (consequently to several collaborative spaces and roles) at the same time. |
