Link sharing

Usage limits apply and are determined by your plan

Link sharing allows you to give users that don't have a SquaredUp user license view-only access to dashboards.

A dashboard viewed via link sharing:

  • Does not consume a user license.
  • Refreshes as normal, every minute.
  • Is not interactive, so there is no option to change the timeframe.
  • Does not display the left-hand menu.
  • Has a different dashboard URL to the normal dashboard URL.
  • Gives users an option to login if they click to drilldown on the shared dashboard.

Note

You may also be interested in Scheduled sharing, where you can proactively share a dashboard to a destination, such as Slack or email, on a regular schedule.

The Settings > Sharing page is used to configure your organization level sharing options and to manage your link sharing and scheduled sharing.

Link sharing can be configured at organization, workspace and dashboard levels, with link sharing restrictions filtering down from organization to workspace to dashboard.

For example, if Anyone with the link can view is set to off at the organization level, then that option is disabled when link sharing for a dashboard.

Likewise, if link sharing is set to off for a workspace then dashboards in that workspace cannot be shared to anyone without a user license.

Users with Full Control access to the workspace can see and click a Settings link which navigates you to the Settings > Sharing page.

The enabled options in this window are determined at the following levels:

  • At organization level via the Settings > Sharing page.
  • At workspace level via the Access control tab of the Workspace settings window.
  • At dashboard level, users with Editor permissions to a workspace can change the Link sharing permissions for dashboards in that workspace.

To share a dashboard, click the Share

button a the top of the dashboard page to open the Share window, where you can configure user access to the dashboard and copy a shared dashboard link.
