Send Invitations to Project Gateway
Once a Project has been successfully published to the Project Gateway system, users with the ‘Gateway -Send Contact Invitation’ Project Role privilege, as mentioned in Project Role – Grant Privileges for Project Gateway , can access the contact(s) To Be Invited section on the Gateway tab of the Project Maintenance screen to invite collaborators to work on the Project.
To invite collaborators, first use the [Select] button to add them to this section’s table, as shown above.
Next, either click [Send All] to send all the listed collaborators an invite or select the collaborators to invite using the ‘Select’ checkboxes and click [Send].
When the following pop-up appears to select the invitation template, select “Project” to use the template set up for the Project in the Project Publishing section of the Gateway tab (shown in above screenshot), or “Custom” to edit the invitation template via an HTML editor, then click [Send]:
The system will then provide a message stating whether the invitation(s)were successfully sent.
After an invitation is sent, it is moved to the Invited contacts section.
