Collaboration

Share images and states (state snapshots), and comments on models in SpinFire Web allowing other viewers to read and reply.

SpinFire Manage facilitates discussions within SpinFire Web under the Comments tab of the right panel pull-out. The comments are saved and can be recalled. Images represent the state of the model (position and measurements) which are saved within the comment stream and can also be recalled with a mouse click.

All users with access to the catalog part can participate in the conversation.
