You can share dashboards with other users in two ways:
- Share the dashboard via a URL.
- Use the Manage Dashboards option in UI.
How to Share a Dashboard via an URL
Ensure the dashboard is shared with the correct group.
- Share your dashboard by right-clicking the dashboard tab and selecting “Share this dashboard” from the pop-up menu. Add read and/or write permissions for the relevant groups.
- Copy the URL from the address bar while viewing the dashboard.
- Share the copied URL with the recipient.
How to Access the Shared Dashboard from the URL
If you are already logged in:
Paste the URL into the browser's address bar and press Enter.
- If you don't have access to a specific dashboard, you'll see an error message in the bottom right corner. You can check if the dashboard is available by clicking on "Manage Dashboards" and turning on the "Shared Dashboards" slider.
- If the dashboard is already part of one of your existing perspectives, it will switch you to that perspective and highlight the dashboard.
- If you haven't added the dashboard to your perspectives yet, it will be added to your current view and highlighted for you to see.
If you are not logged in:
Click on the link or paste it into the browser’s address bar and press Enter, log in with your credentials.
- If you don't have access to the dashboard, you'll see an error message.
- If the dashboard is already in one of your perspectives, a message will appear letting you know it's already there.
- If you haven't added the dashboard yet, it will be added to your default perspective, and a message will pop up to confirm this. However, the focus will remain on the default dashboard you’ve set, not the newly added one.
