Partnerships vary in their nature, and it's likely that you do not want to share identical data with all your Crossbeam partners. Once you've configured your Sharing Defaults for your Populations, you can proceed to customize your sharing settings at the partner-specific level.


Where to Find Sharing Settings

In Crossbeam, there are three Sharing Setting options:

  • Hidden: Partner cannot see this Population

  • Counts: Partner can see a summary of overlaps for this Population. No specifics about the overlaps, including name or any other data, is shared.

  • Sharing Data: Partner can see the data shared with them for all overlaps with this Population

To locate Sharing Settings:

  • Click the Partner icon on the menu

  • Choose a partner from the table, click on the partner name to open up the Partner Detail Page

  • At the top of the Partner Detail Page, you can click either Shared with You or Sharing Settings


What Your Partner is Sharing with You

Once on the Partner Detail Page, click on Shared with You to display all the Population names and the current Sharing Default set by your partner.

  • If the Partner is sharing Overlap Counts for their Population, you can only see the number of accounts you have in common

    • Click the Request Data button to ask your Partner to share the data of the shared fields in the overlapping Populations
