Sharing Klip dashboards

Updated

You can share dashboards with individual users or groups within your organization, enabling others to monitor the dashboards (when granted "View" access) or monitor and modify the dashboard (when granted "Edit" access).

When you share a dashboard, you can also share the Klips that display on that dashboard. Learn more about sharing individual Klips here.

This article includes the following sections:

Note: As an alternative to the sharing options described in this article, you can also share dashboards with groups via the Users section. Learn more here.

Sharing concepts

Regardless of where you're sharing from, there are a few common actions to note:

  • If you don't have sharing rights for all of the Klips or dashboards, numbers will display beside Klips and Dashboards (if you’re sharing > 1 dashboard). This indicates how many assets you have the right to share. If you don't have sharing rights for any of the Klips associated with a dashboard, a None icon will display (as shown in the example below).

  • At any time, you can click the link beside access (as shown above, for example, "1 user has access") to see who currently has access to the dashboard(s) and to optionally change or remove their access. To apply the changes, click Apply. To return to the Share window without making changes, click Cancel. For information on modifying access to a shared dashboard and its Klips, see this section.
  • If you want to upgrade your sharing rights for some or all of the dashboards or associated Klips, we suggest you contact the owner of the dashboards and Klips. If the Klip owner upgrades your access but you are still unable to share a Klip, it may be that your user role permissions don't allow you to "Share Klips". Learn more about user role permissions here.
  • After you share a dashboard, it displays in the recipient's Dashboard Library.
  • When you share a dashboard with an individual in your account, an email notification is automatically sent to the recipient. Learn more about email notifications here.
