Make supplies available to a network
Pick inventory, pick who can see it. The question this screen exists to ask is whether "one network" is a new answer to that second part, or an existing one.
You are a member of this network, invited in by Convoy of Hope — not an outside party disclosing into it. So step 5 reads "available to my fellow members," and the roster is one you did not choose. That is what makes the tier question below harder rather than easier.
Step 5a Your inventory
Pick a resource. The network's open supply lines are marked, so you can see where you match what it is asking for.
| Resource | On hand | Visibility today | Network is asking |
|---|
Read as a supplier working from their own inventory, which is how private-resources already has it: private is the default, and a private resource still matches other organizations' needs without disclosing itself. Placeholder data throughout.
Step 5b Who can see it
The platform has three visibility tiers today. The fourth option is the one this feature may or may not need.
This is the screen's whole reason for existing. private-resources and supplier-network-management both took an explicit non-goal against a fourth tier, and both were written before an event-scoped network existed. The partners tier is not scoped to an event; a network is. Drawing the fourth option next to the three real ones is how the choice gets argued rather than assumed — Decision 7.
Switch between Partners and This network only and read the two lists. They are different sets that happen to overlap: your standing partner list is 31 organizations you chose, 27 of them irrelevant to this disaster, and it still misses a member of this network. That is the case against reusing the partners tier, in numbers rather than in argument.
Step 5c How much, and for how long
A network is temporary. What happens to an allocation when the network closes is not on the board.
▲A network ends; a visibility tier does not. If availability is scoped to a network, closing that network has to do something to this allocation — revert it to private, leave it stranded, or ask the supplier. Nothing on the board covers it, and no spec owns it yet. This is the gap the screen found.
Where this lands for the members: the private dashboard. In-memory state; publishing shows a toast and updates this page only.
