Set Up Social Channels For Sharing Visualizations
Set up social channels, such as Slack, X, and LinkedIn to make it easy for content authors to share their data visualizations with others.
About Sharing Content on Social Channels
Administrators can set up various social channels so that content authors can share their data visualizations on social platforms such as LinkedIn, Slack, and X (formerly Twitter).
Once set up, social channels are listed on the Export dialog for visualizations. For example, if you configure and activate Slack, users see an option to export their visualization to Slack when they click the Export icon.
For some social channels, such as LinkedIn, you must also set up public web storage.
Social Channel | Requires Public Web Storage |
---|---|
Yes | |
Public Web Store | Yes |
Slack | No |
X (formerly Twitter) - App | No |
X (formerly Twitter) - Web Intent | Yes |
Status | Description |
---|---|
Active | Display the social media option on the Export dialog. For example, you might display Slack or LinkedIn. |
Inactive | Display the social media option on the Export dialog, for example, Slack or LinkedIn, but don't enable users to share content using it. When users select an inactive option, they see a message that advises them to contact their administrator. |
Hidden | Don't display the social media option on the Export dialog, whether it's configured or not. For example, you might configure it ready for rollout but keep it hidden until a future date. |
Enable Workbook Users to Share Visualizations on X (formerly Twitter)
Administrators can set up an X (formerly Twitter) channel in Oracle Analytics, so that content authors can share their data visualizations as a tweet on their organization's X feed.
You can set up content sharing through X in two ways:
-
X App - Share content through a predefined X app, as described in this topic. Oracle recommends this approach.
-
Web Intent - Share content on X through a public web link. For this mode of integration, you must set up and configure public web storage. See Set Up a Public Container to Share Visualizations.
To enable Oracle Analytics to share data visualization workbooks through your organization’s X app:
