Approval Process (Public vs Private Visualizations)

Last updated: a year ago (view history), Time to read: 3 mins

In this section, you will learn how to make a visualization public. By default, all visualizations are private and cannot become public until it goes through the access control approval process. You can draft visualizations in your own dashboard which will not be seen by your team until you assign the visualization a team in the Info section. This can be useful if you want to generate a template and then hand over the efforts to another colleague in your team. Just add a team in the Info section and anyone on the team can edit and/or send for review.

CURATED VISUALIZATION

Once the visualization is ready to be public on the site, you have the ability to 1) assign metadata so that a user can easily filter or search your visualization, 2) add a thumbnail to represent the visualization, and 3) add a permalink to your publication, if there is one and 4) add a Journal logo icon to increase the credentials of your visualization. Please email support@stjude.cloud for more information regarding these features.
