Every dashboard has an owner — the person who created it — and an access list that decides who else can open it. Access is granted per dashboard, to named people or to the whole workspace.

Sharing a Dashboard

Only the owner can change who has access. The owner clicks Share and gets the access dialog. When anyone else clicks Share, ClarityQ copies a link to the dashboard instead — handy for pointing a colleague at it, though the link only opens for people who already have access. The dialog has two parts. People with access — add people by name or email and set each one to Viewer or Editor. You’re listed first as the owner. To take someone off the list, set them to Remove access. General access — a single Everyone in the workspace row, set to No access, Can View, or Can Edit. Use this when a dashboard should be open to the whole team rather than to named people. Level and general-access changes apply the moment you make them. When you add people you can tick Notify people and include a short message — they get an email saying you shared the dashboard with them.
Someone can have access by more than one route — named individually and through the workspace. When that happens they get the higher of the two levels.

Access Levels

Your own level is shown next to the dashboard’s name, so you can always tell whether you can edit what you’re looking at. Someone without access is told the dashboard isn’t shared with them, and pointed at the owner to ask for it.
If you lose access to a dashboard, it also disappears from your Starred view.

Working on a Dashboard Together

Granting someone Editor lets them work on the dashboard with you. They can save changes over it, open Edit in Chat to refine it with the agent, and restore an earlier version. This is not live co-editing. Nobody is locked out and there’s no simultaneous editing — people take turns, and if two of you save the same dashboard, ClarityQ asks what to do (see below). Managing access, renaming, archiving, and Send to Analyst stay with the owner.

Version History

Every save creates a version. Open Version history from the dashboard’s menu to see them all, newest first, each showing the date and who saved it. To go back, pick Restore this version. Restoring deletes nothing: the version you restore is copied forward as a new version, so the one you were on stays in the history and can be restored again later. Owners and editors can restore. Anyone with access can read the history.
Version history lists versions — it doesn’t compare them. There’s no side-by-side view, so restoring is the way to go back.

When Someone Else Saved First

If the last person to save a dashboard was someone other than you, ClarityQ won’t quietly write over their work. It tells you who saved it and when, and offers two ways forward:
  • Replace their version — saves the way any save works. Yours becomes the current version and theirs stays in the version history, so nothing is lost.
  • Save as new dashboard — leaves theirs untouched and creates your own copy. The copy starts private and owned by you, and the access list isn’t carried over.
This applies whenever someone else saved last, even if that was weeks ago — not only when two of you are working at the same moment.

Starring

Click the Star icon to add a dashboard to your Starred view. This is your personal collection of frequently used dashboards — it doesn’t affect visibility for anyone else.

Download as PDF

Click Download PDF from the action bar to generate a snapshot of the dashboard at its current filter state. Useful for including dashboard views in presentations or email reports.

Inspect Mode

Click Inspect to see which semantic components (metrics, entities, segments, features) the dashboard uses, along with all the SQL queries it runs — including the current filter values as parameters. This is especially useful for analysts who want to verify the correctness of a dashboard’s logic — both for their own dashboards and for dashboards sent to them for review by other users.

Send to Analyst

If you want an analyst to review your dashboard — for example, to verify the underlying queries — click Send to Analyst. The analyst receives the dashboard in their request queue and can review it, suggest changes, and approve or decline.

Duplicating

Click Duplicate to create a copy of any dashboard you have access to. The copy is yours, starts private, and includes the full dashboard code. Use this to adapt someone else’s dashboard to your own needs without affecting the original.

Archiving

Click Archive to hide a dashboard from all views without deleting it. You can Unarchive later to restore it. If other people currently have access, ClarityQ tells you how many will lose it before you confirm.
