Project Invitations
Windchill ProjectLink provides a web-based collaboration space for organizing and sharing information among a project team. In order for users to access the information contained in a project, they must be invited to join the project team or be granted permission to view the information.
Project invitations provide a brief description of the project and URL in order to:
• notify team members of a project
• grant team members access to the project
Invitations are composed by the project creator during the project creation process. When creating a new project, you have the option to send invitations to team members. If you choose not to send invitations during the project creation process, invitations are automatically sent out when a project enters the �in-progress� phase. For more information on creating projects, see Creating a Project or Program.
If a project is already started, the project manager can send invitations to new members from the Members table, accessible from Project > Team. From the Members table, you can edit the invitation. When a new member is added to the team, an invitation is automatically sent out. As soon as the member is added to the team, the project appears in the user�s projects list and the user can access the project and all of the information it contains.
