Overview

If you purchased Data Lab and log into your TrackTik Portal, there’s a Data Lab tab in the top navigation bar.

If you’re a dashboard owner, you can share dashboards with other employees and stakeholders that have the required admin permissions for an improved data exchange experience, all from your TrackTik Portal.

If you’re an employee with admin-level access, you can view any shared dashboards.

You can also use filters to show the data that's relevant for your needs and download the data as a PDF.

Before you start

Here are some things you must do before you start:

• If you're the main admin and you can't see the Data Lab tab in the top navigation menu, you must purchase Data Lab.
  

  To learn more about purchasing Data Lab, contact your TrackTik representative.

• If you're an employee that's a dashboard owner and you can't see the Data Lab tab in the top navigation menu, you must have admin roles and permissions turned on.
  

  To turn on your admin roles and permissions, contact your TrackTik Portal admin.

• If you're an employee that's a dashboard owner, you must share your dashboard with the employees and stakeholders, so they can see it. The employees and stakeholders must have admin permissions turned on, too. You can only share dashboards, not singular widgets.
  

  To learn more about sharing dashboards, check out Sharing widgets and dashboards.

• Employee or stakeholder

If you use the Type to search... box, it only returns the dashboard title; no other titles in a dashboard return in your search results.

If you need to share a dashboard outside of your TrackTik Portal, you can download it as a PDF and print or share it.

To learn more about downloading a dashboard as PDF, start at step 4 in Download a Data Lab dashboard as a PDF.
