How do I share a report with my team?
Distribute reports and saved views without manual exports every time.
Purpose
When you've built a useful report or view, you want others on your team to see it. This article covers ways to share.
When To Use This
Use this when:
- A view in Insights is useful for the team
- A scheduled CSV export is needed
- A report needs to go to leadership weekly
Sharing Options
Option 1: Saved Views (in Insights)
Saved views can be shared. In the saved views manager:
- Save a view
- Set sharing permissions
- Other team members see it in their saved views dropdown
Best for: ongoing review, recurring weekly metrics.
Option 2: CSV Export + Email
For one-off shares:
- Run the report
- Export CSV
- Email or upload to a shared drive
Best for: pay-day exports, one-time analyses.
Option 3: Screenshot + Comment
For quick visual sharing:
- Take a screenshot of the chart or view
- Drop into Slack / email / your team channel
- Add context
Best for: ad-hoc spotting of issues or wins.
Setting Up Recurring Distribution
If you want a report emailed weekly to leadership:
- Build the saved view
- Take a CSV export each week manually OR
- Have your finance/payroll lead pull it as part of their pay cycle routine
Protiv doesn't currently send scheduled email exports automatically — that's a manual workflow.
Common Mistakes & How To Fix Them
"My teammate can't see my saved view" Check sharing permissions. They may need to be granted access.
"My CSV export looks blank" Verify your filters. An empty result set produces an empty CSV.
