Creating URLs

How to:

Authorized users can create URLs to webpages and store them within the repository. These URLs can further enhance analytics, providing an additional interactive context to your data. You can run a URL in a new tab, use it in a dashboard, and add it to a personal page. If your URL is optimized for use in an iFrame, you can embed it within a container on a page. You can also publish and share a URL to make it available to other users and groups.
