Sharing data and insights
EnjoyHQ offers many ways of sharing. You can share the following:
- individual documents or highlights
- research projects
- individual stories
- Chart dashboards
Sharing is as simple as locating the share option and grabbing the generated share link.
Each EnjoyHQ comes with free Slack and Trello integrations which allow you to share any of the mentioned types of data directly to a Slack channel of your choice and an existing or new Trello card:
When sharing a link to any of the mentioned items, users who do not have EnjoyHQ account will be presented with a screen where they can request access. By default, this applies only to dashboards, documents and highlights.
Stories and project reports can be shared with anybody who is already a member of your EnjoyHQ account. Read more about permissions and what is accessible by different roles.
Using share links
Your colleagues who are not part of your EnjoyHQ team, will have to provide their name and email address so that they can be approved later:
Users who are assigned a read-only role in the workspace the item belongs to can request access by visiting the same link. Collaborator and administrators will be taken directly to the shared resource.
Approving access to what's been shared
Owners and Admins will be notified via email whenever access to a shared item is requested, and you'll be able to review pending access requests in the "Shared history" section of your account. You can find this in the user menu by clicking your avatar in the bottom left of the window.
From here, you can approve or reject access requests, as well as see all shared items.
Granting access to a person who has not been invited to EnjoyHQ team will assign them read-only role in the workspace that item was shared from (and the default workspace).
These users will be able to see the documents that have been specifically shared with them. As with all other Read-only users, they'll see all published stories and project reports.
Upon approval the new team member will receive two emails:
- an invitation to join EnjoyHQ
- an email confirming access to the shared item
Once the signup process is completed, shared items will be visible in the "Shared with me" area.
Disabling the request & approval flow
You can disable the need for approving access to shared documents, highlights and dashboards. When the options is disabled, all existing read-only team members will be able to view any shared item, as long as a link has been shared with them. Users who are not members of your EnjoyHQ team, will have to go through the initial approval process as normal.
You can find the setting in the team management area:
Sharing verbatim feedback
Documents can be shared by selecting the "Share" option from the "More Actions" menu:
Similarly, highlights can be shared from the highlight editor:
Sharing dashboards, projects and stories
Projects and dashboards can be shared by selecting the share option found in the wrench🔧 menu inside of a given project or dashboard:
Please note that accessing project's report page or a single story doesn't require approval - any member of your EnjoyHQ team will be able to browse and view all project reports.
Sharing projects
By default, when a Project is shared only it's report will be visible to read-only users. They can comment and react to the report but cannot see the data from the rest of project sections unless you enable access to these sections while sharing:
When enabled, read-only users will be able to view all of the data in given section, and interact with it, if appropriate:
Plan: view the plan, project description and other project information. Can comment on the plan and subscribe to project notifications
Data: search and view documents that have been added to your project
Analysis: view the analysis board and search
When the option "Show customer details" is enabled, read-only users will be able to see the name and email of the customer linked with the document, as well as see (if set up) names and email of customers in quotes embedded in the Project's report or stories contained in the Project.
Granting access to all documents and highlights in your account
For some teams, it's simpler to allow anybody to view all of the documents and their highlights. Currently Read Only users cannot access the global Search area, however combining Project Data sharing with an automation Rule can provide an alternative solution.
Here's the recipe:
- Create a project called "Global Data", and in its sharing settings enable Data access
- While in the project's data section create a Rule via "Automate project's data" option found in the three dots drop-down with conditions of your choice, for example:
Add all documents with highlights:
Add any document:
Once the rule is created, Read Only users will be able to access all of the matching documents in the "Global Data" project.
