Sharing a custom report/dashboard
Please follow these steps:
1. Create and store a custom report or dashboard on the Explore landing page, after clicking on Create [1]. Select Report [2] or Dashboard [3].
2. Go back to the Explore home page and open the recently created report/dashboard you want to share.
3. Click the Share button [4].
Afterward, you’ll have two options to share your report/dashboard:
1. Share with “Everyone in the account” [5].
2. Share with up to 30 individual users at a time [6].
Tip: If you have previously selected specific individual users, when you untick the box “Everyone in the account” option, the drop-down list “Select people” will be activated again with the previous selection.
Sharing with up to 30 users by each selection
You can select up to 30 individual users at a time. However, after saving your selection, you can keep selecting more users, as many times as you like.
This users’ limitation aims to enhance, and ensure the best performance of sharing requests.
While you are selecting individual users, you can delete individual users by selecting the bin icon [1].
When you reach the 30-person limit for your action (adding or removing users) each time, you get the notification “Sharing is limited to 30 selections/changes at a time” [2].
Tip: When you reach the 30 users limit, the drop-down list becomes disabled. In this case, and if you wish to add more users, you can save your selection, and continue selecting users.
