![]() In the last section (Conclusion) several conclusions will be offered regarding how collaboration can be achieved by using our products. A similar aspect will be described in Section 6 (Going Mobile) in case team members use mobile devices (phones, tablets) for collaboration. Section 5 (Project Viewer for PC) will present how team members can use for collaboration a product that can be installed locally on their machines. Section 4 (Collaboration scenario) will be dedicated to present in detail the necessary steps to accomplish an end-to-end collaboration across a team. This whitepaper is organized as follows: in Section 2 (Prerequisites) there will be presented what products and software applications will be necessary to be used by project managers and team members, whereas the Section 3 (What is Project Plan 365?) will give an overview of the features offered by Project Plan 365 product. Also there will be no PIN generated for the PM or TM when purchasing the license, as part of the authentication step and there will be no restriction regarding the maximum number of concurrent users that can use the application. Therefore there will be no need of a login phase, where the PM/TMs enter their address or other login credentials to be validated by our system. ![]() The current document will focus on how sharing is done in case of a free demo application, when no licenses and purchase fees will be involved. ![]() The sharing concept was inspired from how sharing is done in Microsoft PowerPoint 2013, but adapted to our existing user interface and meant to work with Microsoft Project mpp files, which may reside in various locations: cloud storage services, internal network folder and mpp files received as attachments. From our application we will not set anything regarding sharing options in cloud, we will deal only with validations, regarding the rights a user has set on cloud and what rights a user was granted from our application. The sharing feature will be described in the context of the current flow and existing user interface in Project Plan 365 and Housatonic Project Viewers (Housatonic Project Viewer for Web and Housatonic Project Viewer for PC products). The proposed collaboration scenario is based on the assumption that already a lot of people use a cloud storage service to manage projects and within a team there is already a shared folder on the cloud and they can add there several mpp files. In this way the whole team will be on the same page when working together on shared Microsoft Project files stored on Dropbox cloud storage. Introduction The purpose of this document is to present how sharing functionality works across a range of products such as Housatonic Project Plan 365 and Housatonic Project Viewers (Housatonic Project Viewer for Web and Housatonic Project Viewer for PC, as well as mobile clients for viewer product), in order to facilitate collaboration between the Project Manager (PM) and Team Members (TM).
