A public view allows users to view information in Dashboard without entering login information. Login information is managed in Dashboard from the Server and Public User windows in the View Builder. For details, see Customizing Dashboard.

There are two types of public views, general and custom. The general public view is the default public view and is intended for a wide variety of audiences. Custom public views contain detailed information that is relevant to more specific groups.

Group views are secure views that can deliver information to a specific group of users.

You create and manage public views (general and custom) and group views from the Public Views and Group Views windows in the View Builder. From these windows, you can add, remove, edit or copy a public or group view.

After you create a public or group view, content needs to be added. For details, see Creating Dashboard Content.

Note: Users who access any public view (general or custom) or group view will only be able to view information. They will not be able to change information or the look of the Dashboard.
