Sharing Onuma Schemes

For collaboration between you and your Onuma Studio members, or even other non-Onuma users; Onuma has built-in to Onuma various ways to share and send your Onuma Schemes.

• Sharing Options
• Sending Options
• BIM Mail
• User Groups

Sharing Options

Sharing a Scheme: Sharing a scheme requires the user to click the share/unshare icon, shown with faces above; or when in a scheme, in edit mode, by clicking on Share toward the top right.

A face highlighted in yellow means it is currently shared and accessible to other studio users. A face dimmed in gray means it is currently not shared and only you can access the project. If a project is unshared, that project title will not appear visible to others users unless it is shared.

The options for sharing a scheme include:

• Share with READ ONLY permission:
  • With all users in this Studio - Allows all other studio users to only view the scheme.
  • With the following User Groups - Allows only a select group of studio users to only view the scheme.
• Share with READ/WRITE permission:
  • With all users in this Studio - Allows other studio users to view, edit, and modify the scheme.
  • With the following User Groups - Allows only a select group of studio users to view, edit, and modify the scheme.
    NOTE: To learn more about User Groups go to the bottom of the page.

Check your desired sharing options and click:

• Save Settings - this allows you to see that your selected settings have been saved before you exit the page.
• Save Settings and Close Window - this allows you to save the settings and close the window at the same time.

• Share in the ONUMA Web Services Catalog - This option shares the scheme with Web Services Catalog which gives access to users outside of Onuma.
  • The Web Services Catalog is accessible from this public page: http://onuma.com/products/WfsCatalog.php
• Share in ONUMA BIM On Demand - This option shares the scheme's reports with BIM On Demand which gives access to users outside of Onuma.
  • BIM On Demand is accessible from this public page: https://www.onuma.com/products/BimReports.php

• NOTE: Sharing on the Web Services Catalog and/or BIM On Demand feature several options:
  • "Public" gives access to the public, through the web site listed above. Use this option only if you are certain you would like to share your schemes with the world.
  • "Group Name" gives access only to those that have password access.
  • Background Color in Catalog: Color codes schemes so users can easily see specific schemes or groups of schemes in the Web Services Catalog.
