A public link to a report opens the report on its own, without the app around it: just the canvas, for an intranet page or a wall display. Anyone who has the link can open it, without signing in. Links are created and revoked on Share a report; this page covers what the link opens and how to run it unattended.
Add ?idle=1 to the end of the link, and a session starts by itself when the page opens: it reloads the numbers and turns the pages with no one at the keyboard.
| Parameter | What it sets | Values |
|---|---|---|
refresh | How often the charts on the page reload, in seconds. | 5 to 300, in steps of 5; default 60 |
dwell | How long each page stays on screen before the next one turns in, in seconds. | 5 to 300, in steps of 5; default 30 |
0 switches that half off: refresh=0 stops the chart reloads but keeps the pages turning, and dwell=0 keeps the screen on one page while the numbers keep reloading.?idle=1&refresh=120&dwell=45 reloads the numbers every two minutes and turns the page every 45 seconds.Add ?page= to the embed link with the id of the page you want, and the report opens on that page. If the value is not one of the report's pages, the report opens on its first page.
Find the id in the report's own address in the app: open the report, turn to the page you want, and the address shows ?page= with that page's id (the first page is shown without it).
Add and arrange pages in edit mode; see Build a report.
Add ?idle=1 to the link. A session starts by itself when the page opens, reloading the numbers and turning the pages with no one at the keyboard.
Yes. refresh sets how often the charts reload and dwell sets how long each page stays on screen before the next one turns in. Both take seconds in steps of 5, from 5 to 300, and a value of 0 switches that half off.
Yes. Set dwell=0 so the pages stop turning, and add ?page= to open on the page you want; the numbers keep reloading on the refresh cadence.
A browser only goes full screen after a click, so a session that starts by itself stays within the browser window, with its tabs and address bar still in view. Press Fill the whole screen in the control bar on the screen itself, and the session uses the whole display.
The embed opens the report on its first page. A ?page= value that is not one of the report's pages is ignored.
The link was revoked, has expired, or never existed. All three show the same page and it never says which one applies; ask the report's owner for a new link.
Not while the page stays open. The embed loads the report when the page opens, and a running session reloads the numbers, not the layout. Reload the page to pick up changes.
Until the link expires or someone revokes it. The expiry is chosen when the link is created, on Share a report.
