What is Easy Access to Channels

⚙️ Easy Access is an organization setting that an Atobi Customer Support person must enable.

What is Easy Access?

By default, all content published in Atobi is private and accessible only to the specific audiences you define. However, there may be times when you want to share certain articles with external partners who don't use Atobi, or maybe provide easier access to some employees. Easy Access allows you to make channels public so users don’t need an Atobi account to view the content.

When Easy Access is enabled for a channel, anyone with the URL can access it. Visitors will be able to view the channel’s content and will be prompted to provide a username or email.

How to enable Easy Access?

Follow these steps to activate Easy Access for a channel:

1. Navigate to Channel Studio.
2. Create a new channel or edit one of your existing channels.
3. Go through the steps of creating/editing a channel until you reach the the Easy Access setting.
4. Click the toggle to Enable Easy Access.
5. Once all settings are complete, click Review and Save the article to finalize.

Now, you can share direct links to an Easy Access channel or to articles published within an Easy Access channel.

How to Share Article Links

To share a link to an Easy Access channel or article:

1. Navigate to the specific channel or published article you wish to share with an external partner.
2. Copy the URL from the browser’s toolbar.

When copying the URL, ensure you are logged in through your personal platform URL, not the generic app.atobi.io URL.

3. Share the link via email or other communication tool.

Now, people outside your organization can access the channel or article.

• If you share the direct link, people will be prompted to create a new user by providing their username or email.
• If you export the article as a SCORM article, people will be auto-created.

How to level up?

You can maximize Easy Access by exporting articles as SCORM files. This allows external partners using SCORM-compliant LMS tools to seamlessly integrate your content.
