To share infographics:

  1. Click the File Browser tab.
  2. Navigate the file browsers on the left side of the page to the graphic file.
  3. Right-click the infographic and select Information.
  4. The information box is located on the left side of the screen.
  5. Look at the sections on Sharing/Public Sharing

  • Owner. Owner of the file is listed.
  • Groups. Add group(s) to access the file. Groups with access to the file are listed. Check marks designate which permissions each group has with the file.
  • All Users. Set permissions for all users in Datameer.
  • Public Sharing. Click to create a URL on the network where Datameer X is hosted that can be shared with anyone able to access that network. (Example: If Datameer X is hosted on an internal network then only those who can connect to that network will have access to the shared infographic. If your Datameer X instance is hosted on the cloud you can share it with anyone.) 

INFO

UUID used in URL

By default, the UUID of an infographic isn't displayed and the sharing is called with the infographic File ID. 

A value in the default.properties file can be changed to display the infographic's UUID as well as restricting sharing to UUID and not the File ID.

system.property.share.infographics.only.with.uuid=false|true

Tab-specific URLs

Every individual infographic tab will have a unique URL. Users can use this URL to bring those they share the file with to a specific tab within the the infographic.

Example:

URL = <host name>:<port>/infographics/<id>#tab-3

This URL links directly to the 3rd tab of the infographic specified by the ID.

Security sharing settings must be set to share infographics and those able to access the target tab in the file can access all tabs for the infographic. The Public Sharing link can be emailed or posted to allow others to view the infographic.
