Just click the Share with Team link and the shareable Casting Dashboard page will pop up in a new window. Click the COPY PAGE LINK in the top right of the page to share the link to the page by email or any other way your team uses.

NOTE on Sharing Dashboards: The shareable page has fewer features, so it just lets the team view the resumes and make selects, but does not let other team members contact the talent. Only the Account holder can do the contacting.
