Public dashboards

A public dashboard is a read-only view of one workspace at a link anyone can open — no account, no login. Use it to give a client their numbers, put traffic on an office screen, or publish stats openly without handing out access to your Quantalog account.

Public dashboards come with Quantalog Public Dashboard, an official Quantalog app that a workspace admin turns on in Apps. Turning the app off keeps your link and settings, but the link stops opening until you turn it back on.

#Turning it on

Turn on Quantalog Public Dashboard in Apps for the workspace you want to publish. Quantalog mints the link straight away and shows it, with every setting below, in the same Apps panel. Copy it, or open it in a new tab to see exactly what a visitor sees.

Sharing is per workspace. A workspace covers every site inside it, and the public page shows those sites combined rather than broken out individually.

#Choosing what is visible

Fourteen panels can be published, grouped by what they tell you:

• Overview — headline numbers, traffic chart, engagement, new vs returning.
• Content — top pages, entry pages, exit pages.
• Acquisition — top sources, channels.
• Audience — countries, languages, devices, browsers, operating systems.

Anything switched off is never sent to the public page at all. It is left out of the response on the server, not hidden in the browser, so a visitor cannot recover it by reading the network tab or the page source.

#What is never shared

Some things are withheld no matter how the panels are set:

• Your site keys — these are the tracking credentials, and a leaked one lets anyone write events into your analytics.
• Workspace and site settings, and your team members.
• Raw events, visitor hashes, and IP addresses.
• Per-site breakdowns within the workspace.

The public page is read-only. It cannot send events, change settings, or reach any other part of your account.

#Treat the link like a password

The token in the URL is the entire credential. Anyone holding it sees the dashboard, so a link pasted into a public channel or an indexed page is effectively public. Quantalog asks search engines not to index shared dashboards, but that is a request, not a guarantee.

If a link reaches someone it should not have, use New link. The old URL stops working immediately, and everyone you sent it to will need the replacement. Turning the app off in Apps instead keeps the token, so the same URL works again when you turn it back on — that is usually what you want for a temporary pause.

#Ranges and freshness

Visitors can switch between 24 hours, 7 days and 30 days. Any other range falls back to 30 days. Numbers are live — the page reflects the same data your own dashboard does, including visitors online right now.

#Seeing who opened it

The settings page counts how many times the link has been opened and when it was last viewed. Only the first load of a session counts, so a visitor clicking between ranges registers once rather than four times. The count resets when you replace the link.
