Share Procedure

Organizations that have designed procedures that they believe would be beneficial to other organizations in the Maintenance Connection Community can share their procedures. Members of an access group with permission to share procedures can share any procedure. The shared procedure will be displayed in the Smart Share Application accessible to the Maintenance Connection Community.

Shared procedures are stripped of any organization-specific data.

If you have shared a procedure with the Maintenance Connection Community and no longer want to have it accessible, you can remove it from the Smart Share Community using the Stop Share option.

Share a procedure used by your organization with the Maintenance Connection Community:

1. Access the Procedures Module.

2. Locate the procedure you want to share.

   Procedures that have already been shared are marked with a shared icon .

3. Select the procedure you want to share and right-click it.

   A menu of actions that can be performed opens.

4. Select Share Procedure from the menu.

   The Smart Share window opens, prompting you to enter a description.

5. Enter a description that would inform members of the MC Community of the benefit of this procedure.

   You can also modify the company and author that will be listed.

6. Click the Share Procedure button.

   When Maintenance Connection is finished sharing the procedure, a confirmation message appears.

7. Click Close.

8. To see the procedure listed in the Smart Share Application, select Smart Share Manager from the Tools > System menu and select Procedures from the Smart Share Modules filter on the left.

   The procedures are displayed with the description you entered.
