Quick Start in Sharing

If you are looking to quickly share data with another user, for example, a coach. Refer to the Setup Sharing page here which is a detailed step by step instructions on how to share data with another user.

Otherwise continue below for a detailed explanation.

Setup Your Profile

• On the home screen (which shows an Eclipse image), tap on the tab called ‘Options’

• Go into ‘Setup my Profile’

• Enter your Full Name (note a first and second name must be entered) and nickname (or shortened name)

• Insert an image of yourself. Select 'Done' when finished

Sharing Privacy Options

Data sharing options are available in the 'Setup my Profile' page. You will always see your own personal data, but you can elect what you wish to share or hide with other approved users if using the Eclipse Share function.

These sharing privacy options only apply to users you have approved for sharing. If you wish to remove access permanently to a shared user, refer to the 'Removing Shared People' section below.

Any of these settings apply globally to all shared users, that is, you cannot elect individual settings for specific shared users.

• Share Activity - this includes all your activity and workout information. Tap the (- +) button to share or hide.

• Share Recovery & Readiness - Eclipse never show's specific bedtime or awake times, but if you want to hide the sleep data summaries and metrics, tap the (- +) button to share or hide.

• Share Age - this is your age in years which is stored in the Apple Health app, no date of birth is ever shown. Tap the (- +) button to share or hide your age in years.

• Share Height & Weight - your weight and height is stored in the Apple Health app. Tap the (- +) button to share or hide.

Note: if a function was previously shared with another approved user but than you decided to not share it, it will be applied the next time the user updates their Eclipse Share. Also refer to 'Removing Users' below

Configuration Options

• On the home screen (which shows an Eclipse image), tap on the tab called ‘Options’

• Tap on ‘Configure my Eclipse’

• Review the options but pay attention to the Recovery section. Enter the sleep duration to feel refreshed and change to AutoSleep app if you use that as a sleep app, otherwise leave as the Apple Sleep app. Select 'Done' when finished.

iCloud Setup

All users require some available iCloud storage and iCloud Drive to be set to on, as Sharing uses the Apple iCloud services to securely share data. For you and others to successfully share data, you require the following:

• iCloud account with available storage. Eclipse requires very little iCloud storage, but this depends on the size of your shared group. In short, some iCloud storage is required.

• iCloud Drive needs to be ON (see below)

Adding Shared People

Provided you have an active 'Eclipse Yourself + Share' subscription, you can share your data with other users by sending them an Eclipse share link. Note that the other person you are seeking to share with requires an installed Eclipse Yourself app plus an active sharing subscription.

To start sharing follow these steps closely, especially the '+ Share with More People' and 'Messages/Mail' option:

• On the home screen (which shows an Eclipse image), tap on the tab called ‘Options’

• Tap on ‘Share my Eclipse’

• Review the message panel which explains all the important information about sharing data. Press 'Ok' when ready

• Tap on the link '+ Share With More People' (see below image in the bright yellow box)

• IMPORTANT: Only use the 'Messages' or 'Mail' option to send the share link (see below image in the yellow box). This creates a private link to the user. Never use social platforms like Whatsapp to send links.

• IMPORTANT: Avoid the 'Copy Link' option as this will not create a useable share link (see below):

If you do receive a 'Copy Link', the below message titled 'Item Unavailable' will appear when you tap the share link, as iCloud will not create the private link to another iCloud account (see error message image below). If you see this message, the user needs to follow the steps above by selecting '+ Share With More People' and to resend using 'Messages' or 'Mail'.

Once you successfully send a share link via the Messages or Mail option, the name will appear in the list of shared users. 

The share will only apply once the user opens the link you sent. If you see the term 'Invited' under their name, this means you have sent the link, but the user has not opened the link yet. Once accepted, the 'Invited' term will disappear and the shared user will see the following share accepted message:

An Error Occurred Using Messages

If you see try to send a share link using the Messages option and a message pops up saying "An Error Occurred - Unable to start collaboration", this means that you have iCloud turned off for Messages.

Access the iCloud settings by opening the Settings app on your iPhone. Tap into your profile name at the top and then into the 'iCloud' menu option. Under the 'Apps Using iCloud' section tap on 'Show All' and you will see the Messages switch that needs to be set to 'On'. See below.

Inviting Others to Eclipse

As seen above, sharing data is the responsibility of the owner of the data to share with others. However to save some time in asking users to share their data with you, in the Options tab is a menu item called 'Invite to Eclipse'. This will generate a new message in your Messenges that you can send to users. It contains some links for new users or existing users to follow.

In interested, you can read the instructions here on the invite page.

Removing Shared People

To remove previously invited people from seeing your Eclipse data, follow these steps:

• On the home screen (which shows an Eclipse image), tap on the tab called ‘Options’

• Tap on ‘Share my Eclipse’

• You will see the Sharing Information Panel, tap OK

• You will see a list of people that have share access to your data

• Select the person and tap 'Remove Access'. This will stop any future updates from this point. It will also notify the person when they next use Eclipse that sharing has stopped

If you want to remove access to everyone on your list at once rather than individuals, select 'Stop Sharing' on the main panel (see image below).

Share Options & Privacy

Sharing uses Apple iCloud services to securely share data. Only secure Apple iCloud servers are used to store and send data. Eclipse does not send your data to any external servers owned by us or third parties. As Eclipse is using the Apple iCloud services for sharing, all options and functions you see are part of the iCloud framework.

Share Options

Under the list of names showing which people you are sharing with, is a link called 'Share Options'. We recommend this be left as is, as the default setup is the most private.

The default sharing mode is set to 'Only Invited People' with 'Can Make Changes'. This means that only the specific people you invite to share using Messages or Mail can access your Eclipse data. 'Can Make Changes' does not mean that people can interfere or edit your data, as the app does not allow this, it is viewing only.

You can, at your discretion, change the share option to a public link by changing to 'Anyone with the link', but this is not recommended. If you do change the sharing option, all existing share links with people may be removed. The '+ Share with more People' button will also disappear.

Tap on any shared user card to open the Profile View for that user. For any shared user, you can view all the same activity, recovery and readiness data that you can see for your own individual profile. This includes up to 6 months of data.

• Scroll down the shared Profile View to see recent information like their peak recovery from last nights sleep, or drill into a workout they completed 5 minutes ago.

• Tap into any of the activity, recovery or readiness gauges to monitor trends and progress for the shared user.

TIP: Users need to open their Eclipse to let the app read and process all the new data they have collected on their Apple Watch. This will also allow iCloud to perform a sync so that your data can be updated with shared users. If shared users do not open their Eclipse occasionally, other approved shared users will not be able to see their Eclipse data.

Options include:

SORT - this lets you sort the order of the cards by last updated, activity levels, etc. Tap on the button to sort by the opposite way.

VIEW - provides a different card view to the default profile, such as focusing on activity, recovery, etc. Views such as TopList and Trio also provide all 3 eclipse circles in the one view.

FILTER - will only show cards that match the filter selected. Options include: 

• Balanced will show anyone with their Eclipse in balance; 

• Easing will show anyone easing up on their activity; 

• Pushing will show anyone pushing hard on their activity; 

• Tired will show anyone not in recovery balance; 

• Sluggish will show anyone not in readiness balance; 

• Injury will show anyone who flagged a minor or major injury today; 

• Illness will show anyone who flagged a minor or major illness today, 

• Tags will show anyone who applied tags from the daily wellness survey; 

• Notes will show anyone who typed in text notes from the daily wellness survey.

GROUP - will filter the list by any groups you have added to profiles (more on this below)

Type in a group name in the add field and select done. This will create a new Group that can be added to any shared profile. Setup multiple groups and tick one or more to assign to this user. In the example below, I am assigning the group called 'Basketball Group' to the shared user.

Any groups that I setup are available as filters. As seen below, I am looking at the 'Basketball Group' and also applying a 'Tired' filter, so I can easily filter to just basketballer's who are not fully recovered - easy!
