Who can see/edit my report?
Reports are available to the User: who has claimed the project or company, who were invited as Contributors, and the Admins (team members and owners) of the ecosystem. Depending on the setting of your ecosystem, entries must be curated by the Ecosystem Owner, before being saved in the report. In such a case, the “save” button is replaced by a “suggest” button.
Monthly report
A report is created for every month. Once an image is uploaded, it will automatically be used as the featured image of that report.
File Folder
All the files uploaded to an individual actor can be seen in the Files folder on the left side of the actor profile. Files uploaded for one actor are unlimited, but the total memory of the ecosystem is limited to 1GB.
