Can I receive email notifications for dashboards shared with me?
Yes!
Are email notifications enabled by default?
No, they are disabled by default. You will need to subscribe to the dashboards you wish to receive notifications for.
Can I change the frequency of emails I receive?
No. The frequency of the notification emails is synchronized with new data updates. For dashboards containing the last 28 days' data, you will receive weekly notification emails. For dashboards containing monthly data, you will receive monthly notification emails.
If I subscribe to multiple dashboards, will I get lots of different emails?
We will bundle up all your email notifications of the same type. You will get one weekly email for all the dashboards you subscribed to containing the last 28 days' data. You will get one monthly email for all the dashboards you subscribed to containing monthly data.
I want to turn on/off all my dashboards - is there a way to do this without going into each dashboard separately?
No, for now, the only way to turn on/off dashboard notifications is by turning this on for each individual dashboard.
Can I export my dashboard to PowerPoint presentations to share with my colleagues?
Yes, you can export any dashboard into an editable Microsoft PowerPoint presentation, which means every table, graph, or chart is fully editable and customizable within PowerPoint (including the ability to access the underlying spreadsheet data of any of the metrics).
Can I share dashboards with non-Similarweb users at my company?
You can share dashboards within your Similarweb account only, so all recipients will need a Similarweb user/license.
How will my colleagues know that I shared a dashboard?
You have the option to check the box for users to be notified by email with a link to the shared dashboard.
Can I share dashboards with people outside of my company?
No, Similarweb dashboards can only be shared within your company.
Can I share with specific people and/or all users in the account?
Yes! You have the option to share with specific colleagues or all users in your Similarweb account.
If a dashboard is shared is it “view-only” for all other users?
Yes, the owner of the dashboard is the only one who can edit the dashboard metrics. When you share a dashboard, those you share it with can view it and interact with it, but can't edit it.
If a dashboard is shared with me, am I able to edit it?
No. However, ‘view-only’ users of a dashboard are able to duplicate it in order to edit the dashboard. These changes will only appear under their user and not on the originally shared dashboard.
If I update a dashboard after it’s shared, will it automatically update for everyone?
Yes!
Can I stop sharing a dashboard?
Yes, if you are the dashboard owner then you can revoke access for all other users in your Similarweb account.
What happens if I share a dashboard with a custom asset (custom category/keyword group) in it?
This will work within the dashboard that was shared, but you won’t see it in your custom assets. If you duplicate the dashboard you will get this custom asset added to your user and can edit as required (this won’t be linked to the custom asset of the original user)
