Summary:

This video discusses how to check if a user has permissions to download a file from a project. It begins by opening the share button to verify who the file is shared with, as well as the advanced settings for adding recipients.

Permissions can be updated by selecting the update button in the dialogue box. Finally, the video concludes by showing the steps for users to download a schematic file from the project, as well as the entire zip file.

00:00:00:00 - 00:00:30:01
In this video, I will show you how you can check to see if someone has permissions to download a file from a project. I'm going to go to the three radial dots. I will go ahead and click the share button. You'll see who this project is already shared with. But the advanced settings are going to allow me to see who can download the files and who cannot.

00:00:30:02 - 00:00:53:05
So if both of these are checked, then the viewers in the workspace and viewers outside of the workspace would be able to download files from the project. If you change the permissions, you will want to click the update button in order for them to take effect.

00:00:53:06 - 00:01:02:07
So if I open up this project.

00:01:02:08 - 00:01:19:09
And I have permissions to download the schematic file. You'll see this download button available and you can click on it. At this point any one of these files I would be able to download or the entire zip.

00:01:19:10 - 00:01:30:03
And notice now that zip file, I can save it off into my downloads if I like, and just click the save button.

Managing Symbol and PCB Footprint Libraries with Altium 365

Managing Symbol and PCB Footprint Libraries with Altium 365 When you need to collaborate on printed circuit design projects, you have a few options for sharing data. Your projects need to contain schematic symbols and PCB footprints in order to be opened on another computer, and the old ways of sharing this data are inefficient. If you have access to a cloud application that integrates with your PCB design tools, sharing data becomes easy, and you won’t be prone to neglecting shared data. Altium 365 Read Article

How to Share PCB Design Data: Best Practices for Sharing PCB Files vs. Sharing PCB Projects Getting design files to customers used to require a thumb drive, DVD-RW, or emails before we had the cloud. Even though today’s cloud platforms are immaculately secure and they allow a range of files to be easily shared, there are times where you should limit the data you’re sharing to only the critical files required. For PCB designers, this means either sharing entire design projects or sharing individual files with your manufacturer, customers Read Article

1:50 Events Log This video demonstrates navigating within the events log. The events log showcases user events and data within the workspace in a single access point for data governance. To begin, navigate to the admin tab and the events log link once the Organizational Security Package is enabled. Many types of logged events are visible including additions, removals, workspace member group assignments, component and object data, and data sharing. Event log entries can be searched and filtered by object type as well. The list can be refreshed by typing F5, and an API is also available to transfer event log data to a security information and events management system. Watch Video

3:15 Admin Checklists This video demonstrates how to add a checklist to an Altium 365 Platform for use in design reviews. To begin, navigate to the admin button, and select checklists on the right hand side to see current platform checklists. Edit or delete one by selecting the three radial dots, or create a new one by selecting the new button. In the new checklist, type or paste a list of items and a name and select add. This creates a new checklist template which can be applied to a design by opening a design, creating a design review, and adding the template checklist to that design. Watch Video

4:16 Admin-Explorer Altium 365 Web View This video demonstrates how to enable parameters when placing a component. The first step is to open the Explorer Panel, and within components, open the capacitors folder and right click for properties. Configure the parameters "Visible on Add" by selecting enable for the "PackageCase" parameter and click okay. Refresh the screen and choose a component within the capacitors folder and place it. Now the case size is visible for that capacitor and the Properties Panel also displays this value. Watch Video
