Hello Folks,

If I am working on a story or a model, does SAC prevent others from opening it?

Also in collaboration, is there a way to send an email to other users or other users have to be logged on to SAC to see their messages and respond within SAC only?

Thanks

Abdul

On the first one if it is private ("my stories) no one can see it.

Collaboration -you can send the email without them having to be logged in but they have to logon to collaborate

Thanks, Tammy. what about if the object is public?

As per my Experience , SAC does not prevents it from opening it. Multiple Users can open the Story and do the changes(based on the authorization). if simultaneously 2 users are doing changes on same story , the changes will be reflected of the User who saves the Story first. The other Users changes will be discarded.

Yes, this is the behavior I experience as well.

Hi Abdul - for public stories it depends on what authorizations/security has been provided to them.

[abdussamad_peera]

So let's say both users have the same authorization - both can modify the object.

I'd say it depends on their roles assigned

Hi Abdul

You can modify the story settings via the "Sharing Settings" dialogue of the story list or files list.

Full Access / Read Access / Update Access / Delete Access are your options.

• WRT story or a model, does SAC prevent others from opening it? - No SAC doesnt prevent other users from opening. Multiple sessions and users can login at same time.
  
  If any user saves the story other users are informed as shown below. User can decide to take appropriate action.

• collaboration, is there a way to send an email to other users or other users have to be logged on to SAC to see their messages and respond within SAC only? - No users need not be logged in, email is sent to configured email-id. If user is online, then he would receive toast message about activity related to discussion (like added to discussion, mentioned in discussion etc) Alternatively, user can see notifications via SAC Notification option.

Thanks, Sahana, for sharing the new information. Sounds like a new SAC feature.
