The Team and Enterprise subscriptions allow Administrators to manage and invite new users to their account.
Invite a new user (Settings > Invite users)
Inviting new users is very simple, you can email the invitation link that you can find on the Invite users page (Settings > Invite users) by copy & pasting the link into an email message or by using our internal invitation method.
To use our internal invitation method, you just need to enter an email address of the user you want to invite in the "Email to" field. You can enter multiple email adresses by seperating them with a comma (,). The "Message" field allows you to adjust the message that will be emailed to the user(s) that you invite.
Once you have completed these steps, click on the "Send invitation" button to send the invitations.
Resetting the invitation link
The invitation link is a shared link – individual invitations do not have unique links. Anyone who obtains this link will be able to sign up to PatentInspiration.
You can change the invitation link at any time, by choosing Reset link. The previous invitation link will become unusable and users will no longer be able to use the previous link to sign up. If they try, they will see an error message that the invitation link is invalid.
Options
The options part allows you to change the functionality to either receive email notifications when new users signs up under your account or not. This option is default enabled.
