By default, your report configuration is private, which means it does not appear in search results and isn't part of any group. You have several options for sharing your items, which are described in the following table.
The sharing behavior is the same for Portal and ArcGIS for Organization members.
| Sharing with | Description |
|---|---|
Everyone | Sharing with everyone makes your item public. Anyone who has access to the portal website can find and use it. |
Your Portal | Share your report configurations with the portal if you want only members of your portal organization to have access to it. |
Groups | If you are a member of a group, you can share your item with the members of that group. Sharing with specific groups restricts access to a smaller, more focused set of people. |
Groups and your portal or everyone | You can share a report configuration with a larger audience (everyone or your portal) and also share it with a specific group. This allows you to categorize your item as especially relevant to a particular group while still making it available to others in your organization. |
Sharing report configurations
You can share your report configurations with other persons that are part of your ArcGIS for Organization or Portal account using the Roadway Reporter for Esri Roads and Highways. These configurations can be used as the starting point for others to create new report configurations with modifications. Also, if a report is shared to another person, that person can run the report to get the most current results.
Note:
- Shared report configurations can be accessed only when a person logs in to their portal or ArcGIS Online account used for the Roadway Reporter application.
- The login page is accessible only when you have the enabled security for the Roadway Reporter application in the configuration file. For more information, see Configuration properties for Roadway Reporter and Configuring Security for Roadway Reporter.
