How do I share an answer or report with a colleague in iDBQuery?
iDBQuery lets you share answers, charts, dashboards, and reports with colleagues, with the citations and query intact so recipients can trust and trace the figures. Sharing respects each person's permissions, so people only see data they're allowed to, and shared reports refresh rather than going out of date.
An analysis is only useful if you can get it in front of the right people, and iDBQuery keeps sharing both easy and safe.
- Share the artefact. Turn an answer, chart, dashboard, or report into something you can hand to a colleague or a wider audience.
- Evidence travels with it. Because figures stay cited to their source rows and the query remains visible, a recipient can verify the numbers rather than taking them on faith — the opposite of forwarding a static screenshot.
- Permission-aware. Sharing honours role-based access and row/column controls, so a shared view doesn't leak data the recipient isn't cleared to see.
For recurring distribution you can schedule a report to be regenerated and delivered automatically, so shared numbers stay current. This closes the loop on self-serve analytics: someone asks a question, gets a cited answer, and can immediately share it across the team without routing everything through a central data function. And whether the audience is one colleague or the whole board, the underlying data lineage stays attached, which is what makes iDBQuery's shared outputs defensible.
