Share via Link
Generate a URL to share reports and dashboards with anyone — no login required.
How Link Sharing Works
When you create a shareable link, DATIRA generates a unique URL. Anyone with this link can view your report or dashboard without needing a DATIRA account.
Plan requirement: Link sharing is available on Pro and Business plans only.
Creating a Shareable Link
- Open the report or dashboard you want to share
- Click the Share button in the top-right corner
- Select "Create Link" in the share dialog
- Configure link settings:
- Password protection (optional)
- Expiration date (optional)
- Allow download/export or view-only
- Click "Create Link"
- Copy the link and share it via email, Slack, or any communication tool
Link Settings
Password Protection
Add a password that viewers must enter before accessing the content.
- Passwords must be at least 8 characters
- Share the password separately (not in the link itself)
- You can change the password anytime without changing the URL
Expiration Date
Set a date when the link automatically stops working.
- Common options: 7 days, 30 days, 90 days, 1 year, or custom
- Choose "Never" for permanent links
- Expired links show a "This link has expired" message
Permissions
View Only
Viewers can see the report/dashboard and interact with filters, but cannot export data.
View + Export
Viewers can also download data as CSV/Excel and export charts as images.
Managing Shared Links
View and manage all your shared links in one place:
- Go to Account → Shared Links
- See all active links with their settings
- Click a link to:
- Edit settings (password, expiry, permissions)
- View access statistics
- Revoke/disable the link
- Copy the link URL
Revoking a Link
To immediately stop access via a shared link:
- Go to Account → Shared Links
- Find the link you want to revoke
- Click the ⋯ menu → Revoke Link
- Confirm the action
Note: Revoked links cannot be restored. You'll need to create a new link if you want to share again.
Link Analytics
Track how your shared content is being accessed (Pro & Business):
View Count
Total number of times the link was accessed
Unique Viewers
Number of distinct people who viewed (by IP/session)
Last Accessed
When the link was most recently opened
Export Count
How many times data was downloaded (if allowed)
