Share with public link

A public link is a unique link that provides access to a dashboard configuration without the need to have a Calxa user account and sign in. It can be viewed by anybody with the link.

Anybody on the internet with the public link can view the content of the dashboard.

  1. Click the Enable public link toggle to turn it to the on position.
    ​

  2. Click the COPY LINK option to copy the link to your clipboard.
    ​

  3. Paste the link to share it via email, or another messaging tool.
