How can i get to use the collaboration feature

Post by SeanRussell »

Hi

I am new to cmaps. I am trying top collaborate with others to make a cmap and am interested in having a discussion thread. When i click on the collaboration tab at the top of the cmap the only option that is bold is "Join cmap to soup" The other options i wanted to use re greyed out.Why is this? When i try to join a soup i get along list of possible soups but i am not able to start my own soup. Is there some where i need to go to get documentation help on setting up a discussion thread?

Thanks for your time

First, your Cmap must be in a CmapServer for you to collaborate on it. The other users must have access to the folder that contains it and have appropriate permissions on it. I recommend using the Cmap Cloud (see videos at http://cmap.ihmc.us on how to share a folder using the Cmap Cloud).

If two users open and edit the same Cmap on a CmapServer using CmapTools, a synchronous collaboration session is started and both can modify it at the same time.

You can also add a DT to a concept once it is in the CmapServer (or Cmap Cloud), or start your own Soup.
