I am afraid that the group workspaces do not work properly. I guess it is related to the fact that the group would have to authenticate towards the source, which is somehow not possible.

What kind of source do you have in the backend? How do you connect to it (live or import?)?

    Bjoern we connect LIVE directly to Salesfroce.com. Per the specifications of content packs, it should pull in new data under my account and distribute it to the group workspace (If not what is the advantage of using a content packs?)

      Sadly I am not familiar with the Salesforce content pack. But as long as you do not import the data, but retain a live connection, I could imagine that using the group workspace might be complicated. Why does not every user use the content pack? Do they not have access to the salesforce DB?

       

      Content packs are always quite powerful if you want to share reports within your domain.
