Share issues

Learn how to share issues by notifying your team or sending a public link to people outside of your organization via the web app and the mobile app.

Public issue links are different from issue report links. The former offers an uneditable view of an issue timeline, allowing stakeholders to stay up-to-date about issues relevant to them as they’re being resolved. Whereas the latter offers an issue report and allows stakeholders to download everything as a PDF.

How do I share issues?

We understand that not everyone needs to be involved in every reported issue in your organization. If you want to share an issue with specific members of your team, you can choose to send notifications directly once these are set up or add users to your organization to notify them. Another way is to share issues via public links that you can create for each issue, and anyone can view them as they’re being resolved even without a SafetyCulture account.

Anyone with a public issue link can view the issue until the link is disabled or the issue is deleted.
