Share, Check Out, and Publish Perspectives

  • Create user groups. See Create User Groups.
  • Edit access to a personal or shared perspective.
  • Security:
    • Access Dashboards
      permission.
    • Edit Dashboards
      permission.
Sharing a perspective lets you collaborate with others by giving users and groups view or edit access to your dashboards and charts.
When you share a perspective, you and others with edit access can:
  • Share or unshare perspectives with users and user groups.
  • Check out and make changes to a perspective.
  • Check in and publish a perspective.
  1. Select
    Dashboards
    from the main menu.
  2. From the
    Actions
    menu of the perspective, complete 1 of these actions:
    Option Description
    Share a perspective
    1. Select
      Share
      .
    2. Select
      View
      or
      Edit
      access for each user or user group.
    Unshare a perspective
    • For perspective owners: select
      Unshare
      . This option removes access for all that the perspective has been shared with.
    • For users with perspective edit access: select
      Share
      . Clear the checkboxes of each user or user group that you want to restrict from accessing the perspective.
    You can only unshare a perspective if the perspective is checked in and published.
    Check out a shared perspective
    1. Select
      Checkout
      .
    2. Click the
      Edit
      button to make your changes.
    3. Click
      Done
      .
    You must check out shared perspectives to edit the perspective and associated dashboards. When you check out a shared perspective:
    • A version of the perspective is added to the personal folder until you publish changes.
    • We lock the shared perspective to prevent others from making changes. We display a lock icon to those other users.
    Check in and publish a shared perspective
    Select
    Publish
    .
    Publishing checks in the perspective and makes it available for others to view, check out and edit, or delete. The perspective no longer displays in the personal folder.
