Creating connections between different organizations
Trail Sharing equipment sharing is based on a network established with trusted partners. This way, the equipment owner can be certain that the equipment marked for sharing is only available to trusted partners and not visible to everyone. If you send an invitation to a sharing partner who does not have Trail Equipment Management or the Trail Sharing add-on service, the sharing partner must activate these services before equipment sharing is possible.
