We are excited to introduce our new Locking Data Ranges feature! This allows you to lock specific data ranges on your dashboard, ensuring your selected data ranges persist even after refreshing the page or navigating away.
What is the Locked Data Range Feature🔒?
The Lock Data Range feature enables you to lock your selected data ranges on the dashboard. Once locked, these ranges will remain persistent, providing a seamless and efficient user experience. The locking of date ranges operates at an account level, ensuring that all users within your dashboard will have the dashboard locked. Any links generated or reports sent will also reflect the locked date range.
How to Use the Lock Data Range Feature?
-
Selecting and Locking a Data Range:
- Navigate to your selected dashboard.
- Select your preferred data range from the data range selector.
- Click the "Lock Data Range" button located next to the data range selector.
- A confirmation message will appear, indicating that your data range is now locked.
-
Persisting the Data Range:
- Once locked, the selected data range will persist even if you refresh the page or navigate to another part of the dashboard.
- Exploring the Locked Dashboard:
- You can still navigate different dates and explore the data.
- Once you change the date within the locked range, a back button appears to return you to the locked state. This provides flexibility to explore while maintaining the locked state.
-
Scheduling a Digest:
- If the dashboard is locked, an error notification will inform you that the dashboard is locked, but the digest will still send the most recent data
