How do I share an issue/defect/record?

Created by Nicola Minty, Modified on Tue, 30 May, 2023 at 11:26 AM by Stephen Minty


You will firstly need to share with other Teams/Users to give them permission to view the issue/defect/record.


Sharing gives ad-hoc read access to other users. You can choose which individual users you wish to share with. 


Users who have edit rights but not read access will be able to edit after you have shared with them. Those who are shared are called “participants”.


Via Issue Finder

Simply press the Menu icon ≡ in the top left corner of your screen to unfold the Menu and to gain access to the Issue page by selecting the category and subcategory required as shown below.



Choose your required issue/defect/record and press the button to expand the menu.
You will then need to select the Menu icon ≡ on the right-hand side of your screen as shown below and choose Share. Once selected, the share options for this issue/defect/record will be enlarged in a window on your screen.


All participants that have been granted access will be listed within the window.
