TONalytica makes it easy to share your dashboards. Just click the Publish button on the upper right of the dashboard editor. Any logged-in member of your organization with adequate permissions can see your dashboard once it has been published. You can also share published dashboards with external users by clicking the share icon in the upper right. A modal appears where you can generate a secret link to share safely outside your organization. External users can see the dashboard widgets but will not be able to navigate within the TONalytica application or view the underlying queries.
You can revoke access to a dashboard for external users by toggling Allow public access. This will break any links to this dashboard that were shared previously. If you toggle the switch again a new secret link will be generated.
A logged-in user will only see dashboard widgets derived from data sources to which the user has access. Users who can view a dashboard widget can also view the underlying query. Should you need to share a dashboard within your organization while also restricting access to the underlying data source, there are two options:
Give your restricted users access using the secret link method described above
Create a custom data source for the restricted employees and configure permissions at the database level
Some users embed their dashboards outside of TONalytica using iframes. TONalytica provides a Full Screen view to improving this experience. Full-screen mode removes everything but the widget UI. Just click the full-screen button to the right of the Refresh button. Then copy the URL from your browser into your iframe embed code. Embedding a dashboard in this way will require users to be logged in to TONalytica. To embed TONalytica for external users you can use the secret link method described above. Secret links to TONalytica dashboards are full-screen by default.
Screenshots are the boring tech of the past.
To save you from having to take screenshots that might not look so great but will definitely be out of date a few minutes after you take them, we've built a native embed function that works across most web platforms.
Twitter renders and updates TONalytica Visualizations automatically!
Simply paste your embed link and let the magic happen. 🪄
Embed links also work with parameterized Queries, but it is a bit tricky to get them to work:
The embed link you generate won't include the necessary parameters yet, even if you ran the Query with them.
We are working on automating this, but for now, you'll need to manually prefix the parameter link with the parameters:
link?[name_of_parameter_1]=[xxxx]&?[name_of_parameter_2]=[yyyy]&[...]
