BOMs can be shared with anyone inside and outside your team, organization, and company.  Here’s what’s required to successfully share a BOM:

• Person sharing a BOM must be a registered openBoM user; and
• The email address of registered openBoM user(s) the BOM will be shared with.

How to share a BOM (from the Dashboard)

1. Click the ‘share’ icon to the right of the desired BOM in the openBoM Dashboard.
2. When prompted, enter a valid openBoM user address and choose from the access permission drop-down window one of two BOM access permissions: “Can Edit” or “Can View” (default).  Note: Follow this step for each user you wish to share the BOM with.  If you have many users you wish to share BOMs with, you may want to consider upgrading to the paid “Team” subscription which includes automatic BOM team sharing.  Click “Save”.  You BOM is now shared.
