Share a dashboard with share links

Create a link to your live dashboard that can be easily bookmarked, embedded, or shared directly with others.

Updated over a month ago

Share links enable anyone with the link to access a view-only version of the dashboard, making them ideal for remote working. You can keep your dashboard open in a browser tab on your own computer and easily link to it from wikis, documents, email, and messaging tools.

Things to keep in mind when using Share links:

  • By default, a share link will display your dashboard to anyone who clicks the link unless you set up IP restrictions, regenerate or delete the share link.

  • Share links are hash URLs which makes them unique and impossible to guess.

  • Geckoboard blocks search engines from accessing share links on Geckoboard.

  • Share links do not support a mobile view, only a desktop view of the dashboard.

How to generate a share link

To generate a link, follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to the dashboard you wish to share, and click Share.

  2. Now, click Create share link.

  3. Click the ellipsis, then select Copy.

  4. Paste your link wherever you'd like to share it.

To generate a link to multiple dashboards, consider a dashboard loop instead.

How to revoke access

There are two methods to revoke access: regenerating or deleting a shared link.

  • Regenerating will create a new link to the dashboard that can be shared while revoking access from the old link.

  • Deleting a link will make the dashboard inaccessible from the shared link altogether.

To revoke access, follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to the dashboard you wish to revoke access for.

  2. Click Share.

  3. Click the ellipsis, then select Regenerate or Delete.
