Managing Shared Collections

Overview

Shared Collections allow you to anonymously share Glean Events between Notetakers and Note Recipients. With Shared Collections, once you have set things up, you do not need to actively manage what gets shared between users.

You'll first create a Shared Collection and add users to the correct roles. Your Notetaker(s), who will use Glean to create the notes for the class. Finally the Note Recipient(s) who will be able to download a copy of that shared Event onto their own Glean account.

Creating a Shared Collection

Sign into your Glean Admin Account at: https://app.glean.co/admin/

• Switch to the Shared Collections Tab
• Click Create Shared Collection Button

• You'll then see the Create Shared Collection Form:

• Add a name for the Shared Collection. We recommend using a standard naming convention such as Year, Course, Module eg:

Spring 23 – PHY 111 – Principles of Physics

• Add your Notetaker(s) (you can leave this blank if you're waiting to recruit notetakers). You can add multiple notetakers to the same collection.
• Add Note Recipients who need to receive the shared Collection (you can leave this blank if needed). You can add multiple users to the collection, users will not be able to see any information about who is part of the Collection. (You'll automatically get added to the collection so that you can monitor what is being shared).

Adding and Removing Notetakers to the Shared Collection

Notetakers are the users who will be doing the initial recording and note taking (eg your peer notetakers). You can add as many users to this list as required.

You can add users when originally setting up the Collection (see above) or click the three dots to the left of the collection and select Edit Shared Collection to add and remove Notetakers.

Adding Note Recipients to the Shared Collection

You can add as many Note Recipients as needed to receive access to the Events in the Shared Collection. Note Recipients will have visibility of every Event in the Shared collection, but they will not be able to see any details of other users (including the original notetaker).

You can add users when originally setting up the Collection (see above) or click the three dots to the left of the collection and select Edit Shared Collection to add and remove Note Recipients from the Shared Collection.
