Note

Publishing a dashboard via link
You can enable viewing your dashboard via a link to other authorized users. Via the link, it is possible to view, switch, and open in full-screen mode dashboard scenes; show and hide layers; filter data by territory and by clicking a widget; and drag widgets on the scene and resize them.
If you, as the dashboard owner, edit the original dashboard, the changes are displayed in the published dashboard. You can set a link expiration date or set up unlimited access. With unlimited access, the dashboard can be viewed as long as its owner has a valid tariff. If the dashboard is deleted, it cannot be opened via the link.
