Data

Global Filters

Storyboard has the ability to use filters globally, across all reports contained in the presentation. This works in a similar manner to Dashboard filters that are shared across all reports on a Tab.

See Storyboard Filters for more information.

Refresh Data

When you choose to add a Snapshot report to your Storyboard, rather than the live data version, you will be able to refresh the data in the snapshot through the Settings menu.

  1. Navigate to the Storyboard Settings Menu
  2. Click on the Refresh Data option on the left navigation list
  3. Select the snapshots you wish to refresh
  4. Click the Refresh button

See Snapshots for more information on adding Snapshots to Storyboards.

  2. Click on the Access option on the left navigation list
  3. Select the User or Group you wish to provide access
  4. Select the Access Level from Read, Update, Delete
