The share window

Shareable Link

Use this option to share the presentation as a link that the recipient can open online. Depending on the recipient, you can share the link in one of two ways:

Internal link: If the recipient is a user within the account, click Copy Internal link to copy the presentation URL to your clipboard. This URL is accessible only to users logged into the account.
Public link: If the recipient is not a user within the account, first toggle Enable Public link, then click Copy to save the presentation URL to your clipboard.
- You can regenerate the link to enhance security or update it as needed.

Furthermore, under the Additional Settings section:

Links can be restricted to specific IP addresses or IP masks and can be password-protected.
For public links, you can restrict the recipient's ability to change date ranges in the visualizations.

Download PDF

Use this option to download the presentation in PDF format. Once the PDF is generated, you'll see the Download and Copy URL options in the bottom-left corner of the screen. The PDF file will also be available on the Archive page.

Customization settings include:

Password protection for exported files.
The option to include any background images added to the slides. We recommend using this feature only if the images are optimized and the total file size is under 10MB.

Send to email

Use this option to share the presentation via email immediately or schedule it for recurring delivery. You can personalize the email subject and accompanying message with the custom subject and personal note fields.

As with other sharing options, you can choose to include background images in the PDF. We recommend using this feature only if the images are optimized and the total file size is under 10MB.

Send to Slack

This option allows you to send the presentation immediately or schedule it for recurring delivery to one or more Slack channels. Personalize the post using the custom subject and personal note fields.

Similarly, you can choose to include background images in the PDF, with the same recommendation regarding image optimization and file size (under 10MB).

Frequently Asked Questions

Who can view the slide presentations?

Only users with access to all the Databoards included in the presentation can view it. If they do not have access to any of the Databoards, the presentation will not be visible on their Reports page.

Why is it recommended to keep the presentation PDF file size under 10MB?

Keeping the file size under 10MB helps the file upload and download faster and makes it easier to share across different systems. Larger files may take longer to upload, cause delays, or not send at all if the email or messaging system has size limits. By reducing the file size, you can make sure it's easier to share and access without any issues.
