1. Introduction

In today’s competitive landscape, sharing information between an Agency and an Artist (management team) is crucial for optimizing performance. The type of information shared can significantly impact decision-making across teams.

With ABOSS, you have the ability to share specific project data between different ABOSS accounts, ensuring that both parties—Agency and Artist—have the necessary information for effective collaboration.

2. Benefits of Information Sharing

By sharing information in ABOSS, both parties can benefit from:

  • Proactive Decision-Making: Agencies and Artists can view shared data based on their permissions, which helps prevent double bookings and improves coordination.

  • Collaborative Event Management: Share event details with external partners, such as an external advancer, without adding them directly to your account. This allows them to assist with pre-production work while maintaining control over access to sensitive information.

Note: When you share a project, details like the Project Title and Project Information are shared as well. Any changes made to this information will be reflected on both sides. This article tells you all about it.

3. Managing Permissions

Permissions in ABOSS allow you to control the level of access each party has to your events. You can decide whether the other party can view, edit, or not access your events at all.

Different permission levels allow you to share only the necessary information. For example, you can share event details like the date, time, and location without including sensitive information like financial deals.

At any time, you can adjust the permissions to None, which will restrict the other party from viewing your events entirely.

4. How to Start Sharing

To begin sharing project information, follow these steps:

  1. Send an Email: Reach out to the account owner of the other party, requesting permission to share calendars. Make sure to CC support@a-boss.net in the email.

  2. Establish a Connection: Once the sharing request is approved, the connection between the two accounts will be established, but no data will be shared yet. All permissions will initially be set to None.

  3. Set Permissions: To start sharing data, update the permissions from None to the desired level. This is when active sharing begins. For further guidance on setting up permissions, refer to this article.

Note: Once a project is shared, it cannot be unshared. However, you can stop sharing data at any time by resetting permissions to None.

Important: When a project is shared, the Project Title, Project Information, and Artist/Crew details are also shared with the other party.
