For Your Eyes Only…Private Sharing

For Your Eyes Only…
We all know what that means. Okay, well beyond a sweet James Bond movie and a hit single by Sheena Easton. For Your Eyes Only: It’s not meant for everyone…only for you. You get the point. You have something that you want to share with only a certain individual or a specific group of people. You want to choose who sees what and when.
“You see what no one else can see…” So I can’t sing it like Sheena Easton. Well I think I can but only if I’m driving, the windows are rolled down, and the music is blaring. I CAN tell you that Spinscape facilitates Private Sharing. Ummm…you know we’ve just switched gears to the professional or educational world, right?
Private Sharing in Spinscape…
Use Spinscape to map out your project, your event, or your research paper. You want someone to look at it and give you some feedback, maybe tell you if you’re on the right track. With private sharing in Spinscape you can share your ideas, information, and tasks with an individual of your choice. Now say it becomes a group project, a company event, or a team research paper. You can select and share with a group of people. YES! Yes you can! Still, this is a group of users you have chosen. And nobody else has any business–and literally no right–being in your business!
You can even decide if you want the user to be a viewer: look, but don’t touch! Or you can let the user be a collaborator: go ahead, share what you’re thinking…get your hands in there and do what you like. You’re getting the picture. You have complete control over who does what with your stuff.
You can change permissions from viewer to collaborator and vice versa, at any time. If someone drops out of the group or gets kicked off of the team (you know it happens!), you can stop sharing with an individual as needed. You can also stop sharing with everyone all at once with the simple click of a button. That means when you say “when”, the sharing party is over.
In Spinscape, when we say Private Sharing, we mean PRIVATE. You say who. You say what. You say when.
Did you know you can even add a private node to a map you have shared…and that node will be for YOUR eyes only, no matter who has what permissions on your map??? Mmmm hmmm. But that is a topic for another blog…
