Entity types

The Entity Request Form will ask organizations to specify an Entity type. Regional representatives will review whether this entity type is appropriate for a given organization.

Entity types

myViewBoard categorizes entities into three types. These types are based on the email domain the entity will register as their main domain.

1. Individual 
   This type is for single organizations that use a unique registered email domain. All members in this entity belong to the same organization. Users must use the same email domain to be added into this entity type.
   
   
2. Shared 
   This type is for a set of organizations that share the same email domain. For example, an educational bureau creates an email domain to be used by all schools in its region. Similar to the Individual entity type, only users with the same email domain can be included in this entity type.
   
   
3. Public 
   Organizations that are registered under a free email public domain, such as Google and Yahoo. These organizations do not have a unique registered domain. This type supports adding users with different email domains. A Public type entity can accommodate a maximum of 1,000 users.

The domain you register with your entity will be set as your main domain. For more information about domains, see the article below:
