Joining a project: New member

As an alternative method for starting collaboration, you can request to Join a project. In contrast with the Invitation, a Join is initiated by the new member —the person wanting to join the project—instead of the project Admin.

To join an existing project, select Project > Join. The following dialog will appear.

This dialog shows Chad joining a project where the Admin is an Email peer or on a different Hub.

• First, for routing purposes, select the appropriate option:
  • When the project Admin is on your Hub, select the radio button select "Somebody on our connected to your Hub". Your hub email address will automatically appear in the field following this selection.
  • When the project Admin is a different Hub or email peer, select the radio button "Somebody from a different Hub or email peer" and either select an email address from the drop down or type in a new one.
• Next, type the exact name of the project.
• Then, designate where to put the copy of the project on your machine. Select a convenient directory. After the join process is completed, you will have an exact copy of the project in that directory.
• Finally, fill in your personal data and click OK.

The Join request is sent out automatically by the dispatcher.
