Construction is inherently a collaborative industry and so it's critical to stay in communication with all of your subcontractors and trades. We've made it easy in Raken by letting them submit their reports to you directly in Raken. Read below to learn how to invite them.
What is a Collaborator?
A Raken Collaborator is a person outside of your organization that you require to provide basic documentation and tracking of their work that is completed in the field. Typically collaborators are subcontractors or third party contractors that are completing work on your project.
When invited to a project a Raken Collaborator does not occupy any of your purchased licenses.
Raken Collaborators only have access to view and edit those items that are shared with them or entered by them.
What Raken Features can a Collaborator Access?
Those people invited to a project as a Raken Collaborator have access to create basic daily reports on those projects that you allow them. Once completed, a collaborators daily report can be viewed in a Super Daily Report.
In addition to the basic daily report Raken Collaborators can participate in the below features when invited or assigned by a licensed member of your organizations Raken account.
Inviting Collaborators
Open the Raken Web App.
Click on the Project tab located on the top left side of the page and select the project that you would like to add collaborators to.
On the left sidebar you will scroll down to the section labeled Project directory.
Select Collaborators from the drop down that appears.
A list of your organizations Contacts will appear.
You can check the names of the people that you would like to invite as a collaborator to the project.
If the contact that you would like to invite are not listed you can click the + New contact button found in the bottom left corner of the page.
Repeat step five for any additional collaborators you wish to invite and click the Add button.
The newly added collaborators will be sent an email asking them to join your project.
When inviting multiple collaborators from the same company please select the existing company rather than selecting + New collaborator. Failing to do so will result in duplicate company names within the project's Compliance menu.
