A Shared View in Zoho Analytics is a saved version of a report or dashboard shared with specific users or groups, with configurable permissions controlling whether recipients can view only or also edit the underlying data and structure.
Use Shared View when your reporting requirements go beyond what built-in defaults provide. This feature is most valuable for organisations that have moved past basic data viewing and need precise control over how their data is organised, queried, or presented. Teams working with multiple data sources, varied user groups, or complex business logic will find this capability central to their Zoho Analytics setup.
Before configuring Shared View, ensure that the underlying data tables are clean and consistently structured. Irregular naming conventions, mixed data types in a single column, or missing values can produce unexpected results. For shared environments, coordinate with your Workspace Administrator before making changes that affect reports used by other team members. Testing on a duplicate report before applying changes to production dashboards is a sound practice.
A Shared View is a report or dashboard that has been shared with specific Zoho Analytics users, portal users, or external viewers. The owner configures access levels, such as View Only or Read-Write, and recipients access the view within their own Zoho Analytics account or via a shared link.
Yes. Zoho Analytics supports sharing via public permalinks for open access, email-based sharing for specific external users added as viewers, and embedded sharing for integrating reports in external web pages or portals. Each method has different access control options.
