Hi.
The use case for sharing:
I’m interested in helping colleagues new to BA to get a fast start. My plan was to create and share a project structure that includes a few site collections, web maps, ‘my data’, and a custom infographic and a couple of saved suitability layers. The goal is for a colleague to be able to load a shared suitability layer that was saved with an initial site collection and saved evaluation criteria (ie, 7-8 criteria from attributes, 2-3 from ESRI data, a couple from ‘my data’ variables and one or two from ‘custom variables). My colleague could then get to work quickly, manipulating the weightings, removing criteria if desired to see the new ranking, print a custom, shared infographic that is derived from the data, including ‘custom variables.’
Eventually, I think my colleague will learn to load sites and add criteria as desired but it would be helpful for a fast start to be able to load a pre-set default criteria. Without the ability to share custom variables, I would need to teach my colleague how to build custom variables (I think too hard for a new person) or I would have to log on in each of their ID’s and build it for them, which is very time consuming.
Thanks for a great product!
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Jack
