Shared links

Share and Embed your data insights

Shimoku provides the ability to embed boards into existing Web applications. This powerful feature, referred to as Interactive Embedding (or Embedding, for short), allows you to provide personalized analytics to your customers, increasing the overall value of your product offering with minimal development effort.

Be aware that this feature allows anyone with internet access to view the content. We advise against posting sensitive or personal data using this functionality.

To be able to embed you must create a board with the public attribute set to true:

> shimoku cloud create board --public

You can assign any number of menu paths to your board when creating it:

> shimoku cloud create board --public --group-menu-paths

In case you already have a board that contains the menu paths that you want you can update it to make it public:

> shimoku cloud update board --is-public true

And that's it!

Now, to access to the link through the Front End, you must click in the chain of your board:

A pop up will show with both a Public URL link and an HTML embed code:
