Publishing
Version: DashboardsClassic
If you have publishing permissions, publishing lets you make a perspective and any dashboards, ribbons, and dials it contains visible to other users (individual sub-components cannot be published). When you publish a perspective to another user or group of users, it becomes available to them along with their other perspectives in the main Dashboards area.
To publish a perspective:
-
Click Perspectives in the Components menu.
-
Click the name of the perspective you want to publish to load it in the main editing area.
-
Click Publish this component in the Actions menu.The Publish dialog appears.
-
Double-click one or more usernames or level names in the Available list to add them to the Selected list.
-
To see exactly which users you are publishing to, check the Show all individuals box. This makes the dialog view-only. To resume adding names to the list, uncheck the box.
-
To remove a name from the Selected list, double-click it.
-
When you are satisfied with the Selected list, click Save to publish your perspective.
After a perspective has been published, you can effectively unpublish it in a similar fashion. This means the perspective and its included components no longer appear in users’ lists of perspectives in the main Discovery screen area. You can unpublish a perspective from a single user, or several users, or all users.
To unpublish a perspective:
-
Click Perspectives in the Components menu.
-
Click the name of the perspective you want to unpublish to load it in the main editing area.
-
Click Publish this component in the Actions menu.The Publish dialog appears.
