If not already logged in, do so
Click "Boats" on the left-side menu and then click the "Share" button on the boat-card of the boat you wish to share
The recipient(s) to receive a shared boat/record can either be already registered user(s) or not. Also, the recipient(s) may be Free user(s), getting view-only rights on any boat shared with them or Gold users getting either view-only or edit rights [Gold feature], as defined by the sharing initiator (boat owner). A boat owner may configure users to share with as follows [Gold feature]:
Access Sharing as explained here above
In the “Sharing” pop-up window type the email address of the user with whom you wish to share your boat and select the sharing-rights, whether this user may view-only or edit your data
Click the “Send invitation” button
If the recipient is already registered user, he will receive a notification email for this new share
If the recipient is not yet registered, he will receive an notification to register an account and receive this new share
Similarly, you may at any point change or revoke sharing for any sharing-user, via the same “Sharing” pop-up window
Not existing TheBoatApp user: You define the sharing recipient(s) by email address when you configure the share (see No.2 here above, repeat to share with more users). The recipient is receiving a notification email to register an account. The share is activated as soon as the recipient will register his account and log-in. The newly shared boat can be found within his "Boats" module (left-side menu)
Existing TheBoatApp user: You define the sharing recipient(s) by email address (see No.2 here above, repeat to share with more users). The recipient is receiving a notification email that he has a new share. Upon a new log-in to his account, the newly shared boat can be found inside his "Boats" module (left-side menu)
Sharing can be initiated by Gold users only [Gold feature]. Free users may not share their own boat/records with other users, although they may be recipients of boat(s) shared by Gold users (see below). To put this in better perspective, these are the user-to-user sharing “modes”:
Free
Cannot share own boat with other users
Can be recipient of boat shared by Gold users, being able to view-only, without being able to edit nor add/delete any records
Gold to Free [Gold feature]
Gold users may share their boat with Free users
Free users have view-only rights on the shared boat/record(s), without being able to edit nor add/delete any records
Gold to Gold [Gold feature]
Gold users may share their boat with other Gold users
Depending on the sharing rights configured by that sharing initiator (boat owner), the recipient may have the following rights:
Can view: the sharing-recipient has view-only rights and may not edit nor add/delete any records
Can edit: the sharing-recipient has edit rights
