Hi Charlie,

 

Havnmt created content pack.  Have a report which uses the Google Analytics 'Get Data' in desktop mode.  The same report also referenced a local database.  The refresh options where not available only using a personalised gateway.  In the end had to have two seperate reports which fed into the one dashboard.  Am i right in that this is the only way to have two different data sources refreshable.  Still trying to get head round content packs.  Should I be using content packs to share things rather than clicking share in online mode?

 

Thanks

Hi jak82,

 

Should I be using content packs to share things rather than clicking share in online mode?

I would prefer to clicking share in online mode. Since for content pack when updated it, group members who have customized the content pack receive a notification that there is a new version. They can navigate to the content pack library and get the updated content pack.
