We've ran into some issues recently, with new employees creating workspaces and not sharing them correctly (either not sharing them when they need to be or giving incorrect permissions). Is there an option to set up auto-sharing for workspaces at an account level?
Thanks.
Hi Derek,
Unfortunately, there isn't a native way. It could maybe be possible thru the API.
I hope this helps you!

Also, is it common practice to share to users or groups? I have found that group sharing alleviates many of these sorts of problems.

In my opinion, auto-sharing is probably a security issue (which I won't go into here), but I do have some tools for the SysAdmin that are geared toward such issues. I'll add this to my list.

Is there a way to revert to the old dashboard look and feel. The new dashboards do not look good at all. There is no way of knowing if there are additional items in the widgets until you scroll over one to learn there is more to it since the vertical bar doesn't show. We have hundreds of dashboards and they will all need…
When i try to send or print the timeline view instead of showing the progression bars like they do on the screen it only send the data entered and not a graph type view to print. Is there a way to do this. I am using a mac platform if that helps.
