Setting Sharing Defaults

You will be prompted to select from one of three sharing defaults options in a pop up modal.

  • Hidden: Your partners cannot see this population.

  • Overlapping counts: Your partners will see the number of overlaps that exist for this population. No specifics about the overlaps, including name or any other data, is shared.

  • Sharing data: your partners can see the data shared with them for all overlaps with this population.

Crossbeam recommends setting Sharing Defaults to Hidden or Overlapping counts and later adjusting the sharing settings for each partner depending on the use case.


After selecting a Sharing Default, click Next. In the pop up modal confirm new default by clicking Save or make changes by clicking Back.

Once you return to the Population page you will now see the new custom population added.
