    Functional Change

    6.0

    /

    6.0.8

    • Added a prompt on the edit page when user B (who has the edit permission) goes to an analysis subject that user A is editing.

    • Added the function of automatically changing the edit page to the preview page. For details, see section "Notes."

    6.1Allowed multiple users to edit an analysis subject at the same time.

    Application Scenario

    • You hope to view the whole creation process of a dashboard (published by other users).

    • You hope that other users can edit the dashboard collaboratively when you create a dashboard.

    Function Description

    The FineBI-supported collaboration function allows you to collaborate with other design users on folders/analysis subjects.

    • Users with whom you collaborate can view or use the content of related analysis subjects.

    • By using this function, you can edit analysis subjects with other users collaboratively. 

    • Multiple users can edit the same analysis subject at the same time. However, multiple users cannot edit the same analysis resource (for example, component) simultaneously.

    Notes

    • Resources (that support collaboration) include analysis subjects and folders.

    • Designers can use the collaboration function.

    • Users (who are not the creators of analysis subjects/these subjects' parent resources) cannot collaborate with others on analysis subjects. They can only view the collaboration situation of these analysis subjects, as shown in the following figure.

    Assigning Permissions as the Admin

    The admin needs to assign the use permission of the resource collaboration function to users who have created folders or analysis subjects. That is, with this permission, users can determine whom to collaborate with, as shown in the following figure.

    iconNote:

    1. If the admin does not enable Resource Collaboration Control, any designer can collaborate with other designers on resources. If the admin enables Resource Collaboration Control, whom designers can collaborate with on resources is subject to the permissions set by the admin.

    2. Assume that users have collaborated with other users on analysis subjects (with Resource Collaboration Control and Hierarchical Authorization disabled). If the admin enables related buttons, the admin must assign the collaboration permission to the corresponding department/role to restore the previous collaboration.
