Dashboard sharing
Once you've configured your analytics dashboard to suit your use case, you can selectively share it with groups or give everyone in your organization visibility. Simply click Share while viewing your dashboard and selecting the relevant groups.
What are Analytics dashboards?
The Analytics feature empowers you to see all your data in one place, although this can sometimes be overwhelming for groups or users who don't require full visibility. By creating individual Analytics dashboards, you can manage the data flow across your organization so that stakeholders only see the information most relevant to them.
Depending on the type of dashboard you want to create, you'll need the corresponding permission:
Custom dashboard: "Analytics: Manage" permission
Site-based dashboard: "Analytics: Create dashboard (site-based)" permission
Individual-based dashboard: "Analytics: Create dashboard (individual-based)" permission
