PROJECTS 

• Added additional controls to the Project Status tab of the Project Details modal that allow Company Admin or the Project Creator to adjust the Project’s visibility to ClientLink™ and/or TeamLink™ Users
  
  • When Projects have a “Pending” Status, the ClientLink and TeamLink Visibility toggles are turned “OFF” and cannot be toggled “ON”. 
    
  • When Projects have a “Live” Status, the ClientLink and TeamLink Visibility toggles are toggled “ON” by default, but can be toggled “OFF”.
    
  • When set to “OFF”, ClientLink/TeamLink Users: 
    
    • Will not be able to view the Project
      
    • Will not receive email invitations & automated notifications
      
    • Can receive communication items they are explicitly added to
      • If the user is explicitly added as a recipient of any of the following communication types, they can receive email notifications; however the user will not be able to see the Project itself
        • Messages
        • Project Announcements 
        • RFIs
        • Transmittals 
    • The following updates have also been made to project invitations based on the new visibility settings - 
      
      • If the Project is “Pending”, no project invitations are sent (this is the current behavior).
      • If the Project is “Live” and both ClientLink and TeamLink Visibility Settings are turning “ON”, project invitations are sent to all users.
      • If the Project is “Live” and only one of the ClientLink or TeamLink Visibility Settings are turned “ON”, only Non-Admin Company Users and the ClientLink and/or TeamLink Users that have visibility settings turned “ON” will receive project invitations. 
      • If ClientLink and TeamLink Visibility Settings are turned “ON” after the Project is “Live”, they will receive project invitations once the settings are saved. However, if they have already been sent an invite for the Project, another invitation will NOT be sent out automatically.
    • ClientLink and TeamLink Visibility Settings are specific to each Project and affect the visibility for all listed ClientLink or TeamLink Contacts within the Project; they are not granular to a specific ClientLink or TeamLink Contact.
