Let's review how this great feature works. In this tutorial, we will cover:
Make Sure The Subscribers Field is Active
Make sure the Subscribers field is active by navigating to your application settings. Go to Settings > Apps and choose your application. Click on the 'Form Builder' tab.
The Subscribers field will be in the 'System Information' section.
Add Subscribers to a Record
Once you have activated the Subscribers Field, you can edit any record and assign other users to it. This will give access to that record to the users you assign. If a user is assigned to the record, they will be able to edit the record and see the Activity Timeline and all the Related Lists. To add one or more team members to a record, edit the record and select team member names from the Subscribers Field dropdown.
You can assign as many team members as you need here. Their access level is not relevant here, as long as you add them to the Subscribers Field, they will have access to the record.
Add Subscribers to Multiple Records
It is also possible to bulk edit your records in order to add subscribers to more than one at a time. This process is especially useful if you apply filters in order to assign those Subscribers to their relevant set of records faster. Once you have determined which records you want to use, select them, and click the Edit button.
Then in the Subscribers Field, select all the team members to whom you would like to give access to the selected records, without changing anything else as it will update all the selected records and save your changes.
You will be able to see all the subscribers in the List View. Those team members will now have access to those records.
