Share your projects in ReX!
Collaborate with your team, show examples of your work, and receive feedback.
Share your ReX projects in a few ways:
Share a project via your My Projects page to any existing ReX user
For general sharing purposes in ReX - Use the "share" feature to share your projects with any existing ReX user.
Share a NEW project within "Organizations" to select users
For privacy or organization purposes - Use "Organization" groups to share your projects with a select group of users of your choosing.
Sharing your Project
💡: ReX supports multi-user editing by allowing projects to be shared with other users, giving them editing access—but only one person can edit a project at a time to prevent conflicts.
When you share a project from the Portal home page, the recipient will receive editing access in ReX.
To share a project, you must share from the My Projects folder in Portal.
What happens after sharing?
The shared user will see the project on their Portal homepage.
The project will not appear in their ReX projects (on ReX) until they click "Discovery & Design" from the Portal homepage. After that, it will show up in their ReX projects.
A shared icon will appear on the project tile, indicating the project was shared with them.
To open and view the project in ReX, the user must click "Discovery & Design" from the Portal homepage.
In ReX, the project will be available to edit for the shared user; however, only one user can edit a ReX project at a time.
If another user is currently editing a ReX project, an indicator will appear on the tile to show that the project is in use.
While the ReX project is being edited, shared users will have read-only access and won’t be able to make changes. The message includes the name of the person editing it.
Once the project is imported into Studio, both the original owner and shared users can edit it simultaneously (in Studio).
The shared project will also appear in their Shared Projects folder, but to access it in ReX, they should always use the Portal homepage.
Share a NEW project within "Organizations"
Use "Organization" groups to share your projects with a select group of users of your choosing.
All users invited to an organization will have access to the projects that are created within that specific organization.
DIY Steps
Step 1: Create an organization
This allows you to create an organization (group), and share read-only projects created within that organization with others.
Click on your name in the top right corner, and then click on organization.
Create and join an Organization by typing in a name for your Organization (group) and click "Add".
Manage your Organizations (groups) on this same page.
You can have multiple Organizations/Groups to help organize who you are sharing your projects with.
⚠️IMPORTANT!
You must create a new project within your "organization" to make it accessible by others you invite to the organization.
All users invited to an organization will have access to the projects that are created within that specific organization.
All projects within the organization are read-only (not editable) by all invited users - but others can duplicate the project if they want to make edits.
Projects created in other "Organizations" or "My Projects" cannot be moved to another "Organization" and vice versa.
Step 2: Invite others to your Organization
This allows you to share projects by inviting someone to your organization. All users within an organization will have read-only access to the projects that are created within this specific organization.
NOTE: The person invited needs to have a ReX-verified email domain
First, make sure you have already created the organization (see step 1 above)
Then, click the share icon in the top navigation on the homepage
In the drop-down, select your organization and add the user's email address that you’d like to invite into your organization
User must have a ReX verified email address.
The invitee will see an “Invitations to Organization” in their organizations.
The invitee will need to refresh their ReX browser if they already have it opened in order to see the invite.
The invitee will need to click on the blue checkmark to accept the invitation or click the red decline which will remove the invitation and they will not have access to the shared org.
The Organization will then appear under the Manage Organization Section.
Step 3: Create a NEW project within the Organization
This allows you to create a new project within your "organization" accessible by those you have invited to the organization.
In the left-hand navigation pane, click on the name of the organization that you want to create a new project inside of.
Choose the New Project Type: "Simulation"
The other options are examples of templated project types that are "coming soon"!
Name your project in the bottom left box.
Click "Create Project"
Your newly created project automatically opens!
Important things to note when sharing via Organizations:
These are worth repeating!
The person invited needs to have a ReX-verified email domain
The person invited to the organization will have access to ALL projects created in the organization
Projects that are shared within the organization are read-only (not editable) but can be duplicated by others to become editable
Projects created in other "Organizations" or "My Projects" cannot move to another "Organization" and vice versa
