Personalized Liveboards

Liveboards that contain consolidated data for all business users can now be personalized for a specific user or group. You can filter values to display only the information that is relevant to you, and save the personalized Liveboard. The personalized Liveboard retains the filter values, and remains synced with the original Liveboard. It also works for both filters and parameters on the Liveboard. This allows you to bookmark a personalized Liveboard for easy access to the information you need, and eliminates the need to create a personal copy of a Liveboard which can result in copies falling out of sync with the original.

Users who don’t have access to the underlying data source can view a Liveboard but can’t interact with it by applying filters. Only users with access to the underlying data source can create and save personalized Liveboards. New filters can’t be added in a personalized Liveboard, they must be added in the original.

If row level security (RLS) is applied to the cluster, and the creator of a Liveboard sets up default values in a Liveboard filter, the default values will be visible to everyone who has access to the Liveboard in the filter chip preview and in the tooltip. The data is filtered based on RLS, but the filter chip preview and tooltip do not follow RLS.
If the original Liveboard is deleted, all personalized versions of it are deleted as well.
