The Share button gives you a quick way to send someone to the record you are viewing. It is available on publication, grant, funder, person, and asset views. Sharing a link does not grant access by itself. The person opening the link still needs permission to view the record. To make a project, collection, or asset available to more people, use permissions or public access.

​
Share a record

  1. Open the record you want to share.
  2. Click Share.
  3. Choose how to share it:
    • Copy link copies the record URL to your clipboard.
    • QR code opens a scannable code for the same URL.
    • Email opens a draft message with the title and link.
    • Mastodon asks for your home instance, then opens a draft post there.
    • Other platform choices open a draft share page in that service.
For assets, open the asset from a collection first. The shared link includes the collection path and selected asset, so the recipient lands back on the same asset sidebar.

What gets recorded

Dataerai may count share actions as part of a record’s impact metrics. It records the channel, such as Copy link, QR code, or Mastodon, but it does not store email recipients or the people you send the link to.

Permissions

Control who can open a shared link.

Public access

Make eligible records readable to anyone with the link.
